Abstract

An automatic lensmeter for automatically measuring a lens characteristic of a lens to be tested, comprises: a measuring unit including an optical system for detecting a refraction characteristic of the lens; a calculation unit for calculating a lens characteristic value in accordance with information from the measurement unit; a display unit for displaying the lens characteristic value calculated by the calculation unit; an actual eccentricity calculation unit for calculating an actual eccentricity based on the lens characteristic value calculated by the calculation unit; and an optical axis position determination unit for determining whether the actual eccentricity calculated by the actual eccentricity calculation unit is within a predetermined range or not to determine whether the measurement and/or the marking are permitted. The display unit displays the determination of the optical axis position determination unit.
