Abstract

A vision test apparatus illuminated by internal light source generating a constant, predetermined light intensity in the vicinity of the eye chart. The unit employs at least one photocell to monitor the light intensity near the eye chart and thereby adjust the amount of light generated by the light source to provide a constant level of illumination near the eye chart.
