Eff ect of cycloplegia on refractive errors measured with three diff erent refractometers in school-age children

Materials and methods: Included in the study were 62 eyes of 31 pediatric patients. Th e refractive errors of all of the eyes were measured with and without cycloplegia using a table-top autorefractometer (Potec PRK-6000), handheld autorefractometer (Nidek ARK-30), and photorefractometer (Plusoptix S08), respectively. Th e spherical power, cylindrical power, cylindrical axis, spherical equivalent, and interpupillary distance values obtained were statistically compared.
