An autorefractor is a computerized device used to quickly and accurately measure a person’s refractive error—the prescription needed for glasses or contact lenses. It works by shining light into the eye and measuring how it changes as it reflects back from the retina, helping determine conditions like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This test is fast, painless, and often the first step in a comprehensive eye examination. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced autorefractor technology to ensure precise measurements, making your vision correction process faster, more accurate, and more comfortable.
