When I made the foregoing Experiments, I designed to repeat them with more Care and Exactness, and to make some new ones of the same Sort, by means of an Instrument I had contrived for that Purpose; which from its Use in measuring the Limits of distinct Vision, and in determining with great Exactness the Strength and Weakness of Sight, may be called an Optometer. [Dr. William Porterfield, "An Essay Concerning the Motions of our Eyes, Part II," in Medical Essays and Observations, Vol. IV, Edinburgh, 1738]
当我进行上述实验时,我打算更加仔细和准确地重复它们,并通过我为此目的设计的仪器进行一些相同类型的新实验; 由于它在测量清晰视野的极限和精确确定视力的强弱方面的用途,因此可以称之为 Optometer。[威廉·波特菲尔德博士,《关于我们眼睛的运动的论文,第二部分》,《医学论文和观察》,第四卷,爱丁堡,1738年]
