An objective technique for determining refractive error by observing the movement of a reflex from the retina.
In a preverbal child, retinoscopy provided an objective refraction where subjective testing was impossible.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
