Methods and results of optical activity measuring in KH$_{2(1-x)}$D$_{2x}$PO$_4$ (DKDP) and CsH$_{2(1-x)}$D$_{2x}$AsO$_4$\linebreak (DCDA) crystals with high-accuracy computerized polarimeter are considered. It is discovered that deuteration almost does not change the magnitude of optical activity in DKDP, while in DCDA (60\% heavy hydrogen) it is reduced by 36\%. The systematic errors of the used apparatus with its known analogues are compared.
