Vision testing methods and apparatuses are disclosed, the methods including measuring the modulation to a wavefront of light imparted by a contact lens, determining the wavefront modulation necessary to emulate the optical properties of the lens as worn on a patient's eye, generating a static or dynamic image viewable by a patient, modulating the wavefront of the image remote from the patient to attain the wavefront necessary to emulate the optical properties of the lens as worn on a patient's eye, and relaying the wavefront to a plane nearby, on, or within the patient's eye. The apparatuses include devices for measuring the modulation to a wavefront of light imparted by a contact lens, determining the wavefront modulation necessary to emulate the optical properties of the lens as worn on the patient's eye, generating a static or dynamic image viewable by a patient, modulating the wavefront of the image remote from the patient to attain the wavefront necessary to emulate the optical properties of the lens as worn on the patient's eye, and relaying the wavefront to a plane nearby, on, or within the patient's eye.
