Abstract

An autorefractor is capable of determining higher order refraction characteristics of a patient's eye. An incident light beam projects into the patient's eye, producing a refracted light beam, which passes through a detector lens to produces a converged beam falling upon first and second sensors. Focal length of the detector and/or sensor position are variable. Focal length and/or position are changed so that one of the sensors lies in a position that corresponds to a retinal conjugate of the patient's eye, and first photosensor data is gathered. The first photosensor data is analyzed to determine retinal deep scatter. Then, the focal length and/or sensor position is changed so that the converged light that falls upon the sensor takes up a relatively larger area, producing second photosensor data. The determined retinal deep scatter from first photosensor data is subtracted from the second photosensor data.
