#4: The parallel rays of light entering the eye from a distant object are normally focused on a point on the retina in an emmetropic patient.
They are limited to 2 small bundles when double pinhole apertures or a scheiners disc is placed in front of the pupil
In a myopic eye, the 2 ray bundles cross each other before reaching the retina, and 2 small spots of light are seen.
In a hypermetropic eye, the ray bundles are intercepted by the retina before they meet & thus again 2 small spots of light are seen.
#29: 1st line to speak Efforts have been made to eliminate limitations of old refractors:
#31: Infrared light is collimated & passes through rectangular masks present in a rotating drum. The light passes through a beam splitter to the optometer system & is projected on the retina & a slit image is formed. The polarising beam splitter effectively removes reflected light from the cornea whereas the slit image from the retina passes through the polarised beam splitter and falls on the light sensor. The optometer lens system moves laterally to find the optimal focus of the slit on the retina. Optimal focus is achieved when a peak signal is received from the light sensor.
