Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
making at least one optical measurement of an eye of a subject with an eye measurement system including an optical system, wherein the eye measurement system is disposed within a housing, wherein the housing includes an aperture for providing light to and from the optical system and the eye while the subject is separated and spaced apart from the housing and while the eye is not maintained in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the housing; and
ascertaining, via an automatic eye tracking arrangement, a current positional relationship of the eye with respect to the optical system, and in response thereto moving the optical system into a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the eye,
wherein making the at least one optical measurement of the eye includes:
making an objective refraction measurement of the eye via the optical system, and
interacting with the subject via a user interface and in response to the interaction adjusting at least one parameter of the optical system to make a subjective refraction measurement of the eye based on the subject viewing a target through an optical path which includes a mirror system between the eye and the target for extending a length of the optical path, wherein the optical path further comprises at least one optical element of the optical system;

communicating eye measurement data from an eye measurement apparatus to an external remote terminal for evaluation; and
receiving instructions from the external remote terminal for adjusting at least one operating parameter of the eye measurement system.
