The design of the optical system of the Phoropter
With the decline in vision of contemporary people, the use of optometry tools has become more and more common. The refractor examines the convergence of light after entering the eyeball and measures the degree of difference in vergence and dispersion between the examined eye and the emmetropic eye. The autorefractor used in modern times is usually an infrared phoropter. The optical components of the infrared phoropter include infrared collimating lasers, optical lenses with coating, optical filters, optical mirrors and optical prisms. The optical system of the phoropter is composed of a light source, a folding light path, a focusing light path, and an image acquisition and analysis light path. The light source generates a standard image, that is, an infrared aperture. It throws the image into the pupil of the human eyes. The folded light path puts the light emitted by the light source into the pupil of the human eyes, and transmits the reflected image of the fundus to the image a
