Claim 0:
1. 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 is disposed within an examination room, and 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 without a presence of an ophthalmic technician in the examination room,
wherein making the at least one optical measurement of the eye includes:
making an objective refraction measurement of the eye via the optical system without the presence of the ophthalmic technician in the examination room, 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, without the presence of the ophthalmic technician in the examination room, 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.
