That's an autorefractor machine and it's not exactly accurate (they over-correct a lot), nor is it legal or ethical to prescribe a medical ophthalmic device with it alone. You need subjective refraction done by an eye doctor so you can get the best lenses that you need. Also you could possibly need prisms for any tropia.
Oh sure, yeah we end up going in the room and doing what I assume is subjective refraction, based off my understanding of the English language, but it seems like the machine kinda narrows down the starting window, that's my layman vibe. You seem like you are more than a layman and I appreciate your input.
I have asthigmastism. My daughter likes prisms, but those are rocks.
Back to the subjective refraction, sometimes I can't decide between 1 and 2. And yeah we go to 3 and 3 is shit, and so we are back to 1 and 2, and it's a stalemate.
Overall, I like going to the eye doctor. They are the antithesis of dentists as far as the doctor world goes.
