Retinoscopy

Retinoscopy is an eye test that measures the eye’s refractive power, or its ability to focus light onto the retina. The test uses an instrument called a retinoscope, which projects a beam of light into the eye so the examiner can observe how it is reflected by the retina.

It is a quick, painless and precise test that provides valuable information to the ophthalmologist, supporting the early diagnosis of disease and the preservation of sight.
