Maybe even off topic for here.

At the eye Dr. you know those machines that tale pics of your eyes, anyway 1t is huge, I mean smash your whole face to it & try to get you eye looking in to hole. Anyway, why don't they should just build a scope at the front of the machine to look into. It would be alot easier, I go to the eye Dr. often & it would be great to not hold my face against a machine. Sorry, not sure what the machine is called.

Likely there's some reason they don't do that. Cost, complexity, user interface, etc. Though you could ask your doctor what the machine is called next time you're there, and then you could call the manufacturer and suggest they do that.

For you, maybe not the doctor. This will introduce a lot of movement. We humans are not good at being steady. I've been on the other side of that machine(only to look what the doc does). It's really zoomed in, so even the slightest movement appears massive. They do something like you would to focus on an object as you take a photo from your phone, and am certain movement is not tolerated there. Essentially, being steady is crucial and not resting your face onto something is the opposite of that.

 

I am not an eye doctor, have only talked to a few as a kid.

 

Also, can people please title their thread to something that actually talks about the thread itself?

A chin rest weould still br fine, just it is like you are smashing your face against the wall to look into a hole. They have another machine that takes pics of the eye it is much better. Another purpose though.
