    Autorefractor's in the 1980's?

    Have another question, back in the mid 80's, the Ophthalmologist I went to had me look into a machine.. Which I would now days believe to have been an autorefractor. This was pre-screening. It was actually like one of the old Titmus Vision screeners. I had put my forehead against it looking through this machine (was a binocular machine) that had a picture of a 'cartoon racetrack' I was told to stare at the white line in the center (a passing stripe). They pushed the button, and the center stripe moved back and forth real jerky like, and made me see double everything. Then it'd move back to center, and do it a few more times. Was this an autorefractor? I've always been curious. I remember this like it was yesterday, lol. Thanks for your answers!

    [EDIT] I should also add that there was a black and white little monitor on the back of the machine showing both eyes [ENDEDIT]
