A beautifully turned 19th century wood
and brass optometer. A similar piece is seen on page 165 of
Elisabeth Bennion's book Antique Medical Instruments. The
eyepiece is held to one eye and the disc is moved by hand until it
comes into focus at which point the required correction for visual
acuity is read from the main stem. |
