Answer
Optical refractometry, as pioneered by Gullstrand, involves measuring the refractive power of the eye to assess and correct vision impairments. It employs instruments like the autorefractor and retinoscope to determine the appropriate corrective lenses or surgical interventions, such as LASIK, to restore clear vision. This subfield plays a crucial role in the comprehensive eye care provided by optometrists and ophthalmologists.
