Diagnostic instruments, systems and methods for performing measurements on
eyes are disclosed. In one embodiment of the instrument, a left ocular is
disposed in a portion of a left visual path for the left eye, the left
ocular positioned to permit the left eye to view a target, a right ocular
is disposed in a portion of a right visual path for the right eye, the
right ocular positioned to permit the right eye to view a target. The
instrument can also include a wavefront sensor disposed on a translation
stage, the wavefront sensor having an optical path to an imaging sensor,
the translation stage being movable to position the optical path of the
wavefront sensor in alignment with the portion of the left visual path in
a first state and in alignment with the portion of the right visual path
in a second state. One or more light sources are optionally provided for
propagating light along a least part of the left and right visual paths
to illuminate the left and right eyes.
