This article is a short overview of new branch of optometry – the Individual Optometry. It is optometry where anyone can check up his eyes himself, or with a minimal assistance. It is like a “thermometer” for eyes and people know when to ask optometrist’s assistance. Some devices for individual optometry and its principles were discussed and different models were compared. Preliminary classification of these devices was done. Also, perspectives for individual optometry are discussing.
