Apparatus and method for determining an eye property

An apparatus for determining a property of an eye, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing including a proximal port, the proximal port configured to receive an eye and to receive light from the eye,
• the housing further including a distal port, the proximal and distal ports together forming a visual channel from the proximal port through the distal port, the visual channel providing an open view to enable the eye to see target indicia external to and spaced away from the housing;
• a wavefront sensor within the housing, the wavefront sensor being configured to receive the light from the eye via an optical path and to measure, based on the eye viewing the target indicia external to and spaced away from the housing via the visual channel providing the open view, a wavefront of the light;
• and
• a determination module responsive to the measured wavefront from the wavefront sensor, and based on the eye viewing the target indicia, the determination module both (i) determining an objective refractive correction as a function of the measured wavefront, and (ii) predicting a subjective refractive preference of a person having the eye, such that the objective refractive correction determined and the subjective refractive preference predicted are based on a same viewing experience by the eye comprising the visual channel, the open view, and the target indicia.
