A member asked:

How do ophthalmologists determine your vision so quickly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Technology: Some fastastic innovations are now used during your routine eye exam! automated refractometry can, in seconds, determine the state of your vision and a solution, if needed, to correct it! often, this and other diagnostic equipment can find the reason, also in short time, for what is wrong if the vision cannot be corrected to perfect!
