AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR MEASURING STATIC AND DYNAMIC ACCOMMODATION WITH A CANON AUTOREF R-1 REFRACTOMETER

An integrated system is described which we have found useful for effic iently collecting and analyzing both static and dynamic accommodation data using the Canon Autoref R-l refractometer. The system consists of hardware modifications and software designed to both facilitate the m easurement of accommodation and to process the resulting data. Several features of the Canon R-l, which may not be evident to some users, ar e also described, A program written in Microsoft C/C++ running under D OS, and designed for use on a PC, is available from the authors upon r equest.
