What does an optometrist/optician look at in our eyes when we’re reading from the chart? In what way does that help them?

Question

Coz they still need us to confirm if we can read or not with different lenses.

Answer 1

Your eye’s health is examined with an ophthalmoscope and different types of light for viewing the retina and fundus.

This is a separate instrument than the photoropter, where you are asked which of the lens choices improves the test chart, and there is no “looking in your eyes”, only operating the machine.
