Class Information
Number: 351
Name: Optics: eye examining, vision testing and correcting >
Description: This class corresponds generally in subject matter to optometry, and includes eye examining and vision testing instruments. These instruments must include some optical structure or they must operate in conjunction with the optical or vision path of the eye. Included also are these instruments combined with eye exercising and/or training devices. Included also are certain accessories such as test charts and/or targets which may involve projection, illuminators and supports which are peculiar to these instruments. Included also are methods of operating or using these instruments and not generally classifiable.
