optometry 的詞源
optometry(n.)
"視力範圍的測量; 一般視力能力的測量",出自1886年,源自 optometer(1738年),這是一種測試視力的儀器名稱,來自 opto- "視力",源自希臘語 optos "已看到,可見"(源自 PIE 詞根 *okw- "看見")+ -metry "測量"。可能受到法語 optométrie 的影響。
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]
當我進行上述實驗時,我打算更加仔細和準確地重複它們,並通過我爲此目的設計的儀器進行一些相同類型的新實驗; 由於它在測量清晰視野的極限和精確確定視力的強弱方面的用途,因此可以稱之爲 Optometer。[威廉·波特菲爾德博士,《關於我們眼睛的運動的論文,第二部分》,《醫學論文和觀察》,第四卷,愛丁堡,1738年]
