ABSTRACT:
A glare tester suitable for use with conventional subjective refractors for testing visual acuity is disclosed. The tester may be fitted to new refractors or retrofitted to existing refractors. The preferred tester is a plastic annular ring with a plurality of LEDs mounted in recesses to direct light toward the test axis and a surface to reflect the LED light toward the patient's eye. A coating on the ring surface opposite the patient's eye improves the LED efficiency.
