Definitions for "Retinoscopy"
The study of the retina of the eye by means of the ophthalmoscope.
the technique of looking into the eye with an optical instrument to observe the retina. Short Sight: see myopia
A method of determining focusing errors of the eye in which light is shined through the pupil and the reflected beam is measured.
a rapidly disappearing probe of the focusing abilities; that is the ability to focus in the far distance, the ability to focus at the working distance, the ability to maintain flexible or stable focus as needed. This probe is being replaced by autorefraction. Autorefraction is a mechanical means of measuring distance focus. This technique provides only a small percentage of the information that can be obtained doing manual retinoscopy.
