Abstract
An objective infrared optometer has been designed, based on the optical principles of eccentric photorefraction. A CCD camera with an eccentric infrared light source images the subject's pupil through a Badal optometer. The slope of the light distribution across the pupil is continuously recorded. Accommodative state is measured by moving the camera behind the Badal lens until the slope is zero. This position corresponds to the case where the camera is conjugate with the retina of the observer. In this Badal optometer, the irradiance of light at the pupil plane, the sensitivity of the photorefractor, and the focal setting of the camera lens remain constant for all positions of the camera from the eye. The repeatability of a single measure of refractive state in a cyclopleged eye was less than 0.05 D. Static accommodative responses taken from 3 subjects in both closed and open loop conditions provided expected stimulus/response measures. The instrument can also be adapted to measure dynamic accommodation.
