Purpose: We aimed to investigate whether the accuracy of the Plusoptix A09 photorefractor in children with ametropia is enhanced by cycloplegia with 1% tropicamide.
Methods: A total of 70 eyes (70 children) were retrospectively reviewed. Noncycloplegic photorefraction, cycloplegia with 1% tropicamide, cycloplegic photorefraction, and cycloplegic refraction with a tabletop autorefractometer were performed on all subjects in this order. Measurements were compared statistically.
Results: The mean age was 45.9 ± 11.4 months. The mean spherical equivalent (0.61 ± 1.03 diopters (D); range, -2.38 to 3.63 D) and mean spherical power (1.16 ± 0.92 D; range, -1.25 to 3.75 D) values that were acquired from the photorefraction without cycloplegia showed statistically significant differences from those of the autorefraction with cycloplegia (mean spherical equivalent = 1.00 ± 1.27 D; range, -1.50 to 4.25 D, mean spherical power = 1.60 ± 1.14; range, -1.25 to 4.50 D). The mean difference for the spherical equivalent was -0.39 ± 0.93 D (=0.021; 95% limits of agreement (LoA) = -2.22 D to 1.44 D) and for spherical power was -0.44 ± 1.02 D (=0.016; LoA = -2.44 D to 1.56 D). Without cycloplegia, Plusoptix A09 showed myopic shift, while after cycloplegia, it showed hyperopic shift. Spherical equivalent (mean difference (MD) ± SD = 0.78 ± 1.00 D, < 0.001; LoA = -1.17 D to 2.72 D) and spherical power (MD ± SD = 0.73 ± 1.04 D, < 0.001; LoA = -1.31 D to 2.77 D) values were significantly different from those of autorefraction with cycloplegia. Cylindrical power values obtained by photorefraction both with and without cycloplegia were not statistically different from those of autorefraction with cycloplegia ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: Cycloplegia with 1% tropicamide did not improve the accuracy of photorefraction using Plusoptix A09 in preschool children. The spherical equivalent and spherical power values obtained by photorefraction with cycloplegia were significantly higher from those obtained by autorefraction with cycloplegia.

Comparison of photorefraction by Plusoptix A12 and cycloplegic autorefraction in children.

Background: Plusoptix photoscreeners are capable of measuring refractive errors of children from 1 meter distance, without cyloplegia. We aimed to compare refractive data obtained from the newest version of Plusoptix (model 12) with cycloplegic autorefraction.
Methods: We examined 111 consecutive children aged 3-7 years first by Plusoptix A12C under manifest condition and subsequently for cycloplegic refraction by Topcon KR-1 tabletop autorefractometer.

Purpose: There are many unclear points about the accuracy of measurement of cycloplegic refraction using the Spot Vision Screener (SVS). This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of SVS measurements with cycloplegia for myopia.
Materials And Methods: Forty-nine healthy subjects were included, and refraction was measured.
Impact of induced pseudomyopia and refractive fluctuations of accommodative spasm on visual acuity.
Clin Exp Optom
November 2023
Prof Brien Holden Eye Research Centre, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Clinical Relevance: High-contrast visual acuity is disproportionately poor in patients with accommodative spasm subtype of near reflex (SNR-A), relative to uncorrected refractive errors of equivalent magnitude. This exaggerated loss of performance in SNR-A may be explained by the combination of pseudomyopia and its fluctuations, vis-à-vis, each factor considered separately.
Background: To determine how combinations of pseudomyopic refraction and its temporal variations in SNR-A impact high-contrast visual acuity by inducing these patterns in healthy cyclopleged adults, relative to their baseline acuity.
