-CURVATURE OF FRONT CORNEA
-KERATOCONUS
-KERATOMETER
used to obtain an objectives (x response px) measurements of the refractive error (EOR) of a patient’s eyes.
-subject response
-RETINOSCOPE
USED IN (RESPONSE)SUBJECTIVE REFRACTION IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE EOR OF THE PATIENT
-TRIAL LENS AND FRAME
- OPHTHALMIC DEVICE USED IN SUBJECTIVE REFRACTION.
-IT CONTAINS DIFFERENT LENSES USED TO MEASURE AN INDIVIDUALS REFRACTIVE ERROR AND DETERMINE OF EYEGLASSES PRESCRIPTION
PHOROPTER
USED IN A EYE EXAMINATION TO PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENTS OF A. INDIVIDUALS REFRACTIVE ERRORS.
Estimation amount EOR

-USED TO DETERMINE THE SMALLEST LETTERS YOU CAN READ ON A STANDARDIZED CHART.
-VISUAL ACUITY CHART/PROJECTOR
-TUMBLING E CHART
-USE TO SEE INSIDE THE FUNDUS OF THE EYE (INSIDE OF THE EYE) AND ITS STRUCTURES SUCH AS OPTIC DISK,MACULA,VEINS AND ARTERIES ETC.
-CRYSTALLINE LENS->CATARACT
Ophthalmoscope
-IS A MICROSCOPE WITH A BRIGHT LIGHT USED DURING AN EYE EXAM.
-IT GIVES A CLOSER LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES AT THE FRONT OF THE EYE AND INSIDE THE EYE
