Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Grand Seiko Ref/Keratometer WAM-5500 compared to Topcon KR800 autorefractor in detecting refractive error in large scale vision screening for Chinese school age children with the WHO criteria.
Methods: A total of 886 participants were enrolled with mean age of 9.49±1.88y from Tianjin, China. Spherical equivalent (SE) was obtained from un-cycloplegic autorefraction and cycloplegic autorefraction. Topcon KR 800 (Topcon) and Grand Seiko WAM-5500 (WAM) autorefractors were used. Bland-Altman Plot and regression were generated to compare their performance. The overall effectiveness of detecting early stage refractive error was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Results: The mean SE was -0.98±1.81 diopter (D) and the prevalence of myopia was 48.9% defined by WHO criteria according to the result of cycloplegic autorefraction. The mean SE of un-cycloplegic autorefraction with Topcon and WAM were -1.21±1.65 and -1.20±1.68 D respectively. There was a strong linear agreement between result obtained from WAM and cycloplegic autorefraction with an of 0.8318. Bland-Altman plot indicated a moderate agreement of cylinder values between the two methods. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting hyperopia were 90.52% and 83.51%; for detecting myopia were 95.60% and 90.24%; for detecting astigmatism were 79.40% and 90.21%; for detecting high myopia were 98.16% and 98.91% respectively.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that both Grand Seiko and Topcon autorefractor can be used in large-scale vision screening for detecting refractive error in Chinese population. Grand Seiko gives relatively better performance in detecting myopia, hyperopia, and high myopia for school age children.

The peripheral retinal refractive state plays an important role in eye growth and development and is closely related to the development of myopia. Existing methods for measuring the peripheral retinal refractive state are cumbersome and can only detect in a limited range. To address the above shortcomings, this paper proposes a retinal refractive state detection method using optical refractive compensation imaging.

Purpose: To investigate changes in peripheral eye length (PEL) in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology (Ortho-K) treatment for 12 months using MRI. The results were compared to single vision spectacle wearers (SVS).
Patients And Methods: A total of 70 children with myopia (aged 8-9 years old) were recruited.
Purpose: This study compares the trends of changes in corneal asphericity, corneal and total aberrations and peripheral refraction in myopic eyes after excimer laser and orthokeratology correction.
Material And Methods: Aberrometry (OPD-Scan III; Nidek, Japan) was performed in 63 patients (126 eyes) with moderate and high myopia before and after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK; 88 eyes, group 1) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK; 38 eyes, group 2). Peripheral refraction (Grand Seiko AutoRef/Keratometer) at 15° and 30° from the center of the fovea was observed in 12 patients of group 1 and in 18 patients with a background of orthokeratology correction (group 3).
Immediate Effects of Vergence Exercises Using Automatic Dual Rotational Risley Prisms on Accommodative Lag and Facility.

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan.
Introduction: This study evaluated novel automatic dual rotational Risley prisms (ADRRPs) as a vergence exercise tool for patients with myopia to improve accommodative lag and accommodative facility.
Methods: Participants with myopia aged 20-24 years were recruited. After vergence exercises with prisms (treatment group) or plano lenses (control group) using ADRRPs for 10 min, measurements were taken using an open-field autorefractor (Grand Seiko WAM-5500) at viewing distances of 0.
