Abstract:
1. A method of automatically measuring at least one refractive characteristic of both eyes (OD, OG) of an individual, the method comprising the following steps: a) adjusting at least one posture of the individual's head in accordance with the wishes of said individual, in a frame of reference (O, X, Y, Z) associated with an image capture device ( b) illuminating both eyes (OD, OG) by means of at least one light source ( c) measuring at least one gaze direction parameter (H) associated with the gaze direction of the individual in a frame of reference associated with the individual's head; d) using said image capture device ( f) from said at least one image captured in step d), determining said refractive characteristic (D) for each of the eyes (OD, OG) of the individual; and h) storing the gaze direction parameter (H) associated with the gaze direction of the individual as measured during the image capture of step d) in association with the determined refractive characteristic; wherein, in step c), at least one of the following posture parameters (DD, DG, H, AHD, AHG, AVD, AVG) of the head are measured:
