And sometimes it’s a hot air balloon.

It was always the balloon for me. Never seen the house.

Depends on the brand that made the autorefractor

Nidek uses the hot air balloon. Topcon uses the house on the prairie.

I am not sure if it's exclusive to either brand though. Both are Japanese manufacturers.

I think Zeiss also uses the house. And Nikon if I remember right?

It was (and is) always the house for me. Never seen the balloon.
