optometry 的词源
optometry(n.)
“测量视力范围;一般视觉能力的测量”,这个定义出现在1886年,源自optometer(1738年),指的是一种用于测试视力的仪器。这个词由opto-(意为“视力”)构成,来自希腊语optos(意为“可见的”或“被看见的”,源自原始印欧语根*okw-,意为“看”),加上-metry(意为“测量”)。这个词可能受到了法语optométrie的影响。
When I made the foregoing Experiments, I designed to repeat them with more Care and Exactness, and to make some new ones of the same Sort, by means of an Instrument I had contrived for that Purpose; which from its Use in measuring the Limits of distinct Vision, and in determining with great Exactness the Strength and Weakness of Sight, may be called an Optometer. [Dr. William Porterfield, "An Essay Concerning the Motions of our Eyes, Part II," in Medical Essays and Observations, Vol. IV, Edinburgh, 1738]
“当我进行上述实验时,我原本打算更加仔细和准确地重复这些实验,并通过我为此目的设计的一种仪器进行一些新的实验。由于它用于测量清晰视力的极限,并能非常准确地确定视力的强弱,因此可以称之为‘视力测量仪’。” [威廉·波特菲尔德博士,《关于我们眼睛运动的论文,第二部分》,收录于《医学论文与观察》,第四卷,爱丁堡,1738年]
