retinoscopy is an eye examination technique used to estimate a person’s glasses prescription. It measures refractive error by observing how light reflects off the retina through the pupil. It is commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology clinics during routine vision exams. It is especially helpful when a patient cannot reliably read an eye chart or describe clarity.
