1. A method of testing vision for diagnosing the refractive state of the eye comprising the steps of: a) conducting objective refraction testing of the eyes of a sample of patients to obtain results indicating objective refraction characteristics of each patient's eyes; b) conducting subjective eye tests for the same sample of patients, with standard eye examinations to obtain refractive correction data with and without spherical and/or cylindrical correction in an attempt to achieve each patient's subjectively desired quality of vision; c) comparing the objective test results for each sample patient with the subjective test results for each same sample patient to determine a correlation between objectively determined refractive characteristics of the eyes and the subjectively determined desired quality of vision; d) conducting objective refraction test on a new patient and predicting corrective actions for producing subjectively desired qualities of vision based upon the correlation made using the objective and subjective test results for the sample of patients.
