ABSTRACT:
An automatic lens meter includes a first positive lens system, a second positive lens system having its forward focal plane coincident with the rearward focal plane of the first positive lens system, a pin-hole plate disposed in the forward focal plane of the second positive lens system, the optical axis of the first and second positive lens systems passing through the pin-hole of the pin-hole plate, four spot light source means disposed on the forward focus side of the first positive lens system, the four spot light source means being provided in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis and made conjugate with a predetermined position on the rearward focus side of the second positive lens system by the first and second positive lens systems, a lens to be examined being disposed at said predetermined position, a third positive lens system provided on the side opposite to the second positive lens system with respect to said predetermined position, light-receiving means disposed on the opposite side of the second positive lens system with respect to the third positive lens system, the light-receiving means producing a signal corresponding to the position, on the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving means, of an optical image corresponding to each of the four spot light source means, and converter means for converting the output signals of the light-receiving means into diopters D.sub.1, D.sub.2 and principal meridians axis degree .theta..
