Abstract
In apparatus for determining the refractive correction for a patient's eye, a plurality of similar test targets are presented to the patient simultaneously, with these test targets being viewed through different trial refractive corrections for the patient to choose between. Magnification differences produced by the different trial refractive corrections are compensated for by altering the size or shape of the different test targets, such that when magnified by the respective trial refractive correction, each test target appears of normal size and shape to the patient, not interfering with the patient's judgment of best clarity.
