When you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at True Focus Eye Care, we fully assess your vision to make sure you’re seeing your best. If we find that you need vision correction, we will use the autorefractor to determine the correct lens prescription for your eyes.

How does the autorefractor work?

Have you ever wondered how eye care professionals determine the correct prescription for your glasses or contact lenses? That’s where the autorefractor comes in!  An autorefractor is a computerized device that we use to measure the refractive error of your eyes. This quick, painless test helps us determine whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.

To use the autorefractor, we simply shine a light into your eyes and let the device measure how the light reflects off the back of your eye. Once we have the measurements from the autorefractor, we can determine the right prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.

What are the benefits of the autorefractor?

One of the biggest benefits of using an autorefractor is its speed and accuracy. The measurements taken by the autorefractor are quick and precise, providing us with valuable information about the refractive error of your eyes. This helps us determine the most accurate prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.

Another great benefit of the autorefractor is that it doesn’t require any feedback from you. You don’t have to worry about answering any questions or making any choices. This makes the process easier and more comfortable for you, especially if you’re feeling a bit nervous about your eye exam.

Additionally, the autorefractor is ideal for patients of all ages and abilities. It’s especially helpful for young children or patients with disabilities who may have difficulty answering questions or participating in traditional eye exams.

At True Focus Eye Care, we utilize the Nikon autorefractor which uses advanced wavefront technology to accurately measure the refractive error of your eyes. This allows us to determine the most precise and personalized prescription for your glasses or contact lenses, ensuring that you’re seeing the world as clearly as possible. The process is quick and non-invasive, so you don’t have to worry about any discomfort or pain during the exam.
