Abstract
Systems and methods for performing an eye examination are disclosed. In particular, an object is recorded by a recording mechanism. The recording is transferred to a computer system, which is accessible to users. As users view the recording of the object, the appearance thereof is altered. The user will observe the various appearances and select the appearance that is the best or most clear. A prescription will be assigned to each appearance so that upon selection by a user, the prescription can be noted and used to obtain any necessary eye wear. The present invention is useful in detecting and diagnosing various ocular disorders or refractive errors such as emmetropia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and the need for prismatic lenses.
