The invention relates to a method for estimating a reference posture of a subject with a view to taking measurements in order to determine the parameters for manufacturing a vision correction device, including, for a plurality of instances in which the head reaches a target reference posture from at least one deviated posture, the steps of: measuring the actual reference posture to thus obtain a plurality of sets of actual reference posture data, and storing said sets of data in a memory; and processing said sets of actual reference posture data using a digital processing unit in order to obtain an optimal reference posture.
