Purpose: To investigate the reproducibility of the sphero‐cylindrical prescriptions provided
by 40 optometrists. Methods: Forty registered optometrists were randomly selected from the …

Purpose.: To explore 3-year change in spherical refractive error and ocular components
among white Northern Irish schoolchildren. Methods.: Baseline data were collected among 6 …

Aim: To determine whether UK optometrists routinely prescribe the subjective refraction
result, or whether adjustments are made to aid patient comfort and adaptation. Method: A …

Purpose. Standardized patient (SP) methodology is the gold standard for evaluating clinical
practice. This approach was used to investigate the content of typical optometric eyecare in …

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare refractions measured with three different
autorefractors. Methods. The refractive error of each eye of 50 adults aged 17 to 59 years …

People often come to the clinic thinking they need glasses even when their acuity is normal
and they have no refractive error. This especially applies to students who are suffering eye …

Background. Understanding the relation between refractive error and visual acuity is
complicated if astigmatic blur is present. No models are in widespread use that allow the …

The distribution of cylindrical refractive error (right eye only) is presented for 957 persons,
comprising approximately 80% of the population (aged 5 years and over) of three western …

PURPOSE: To develop methods for multivariate statistical analysis of spherocylinders and to
use these methods to compare autorefraction and manifest subjective refraction in 50 …

Purpose To explore factors affecting the difference between objective refractive data
measured under monocular closed-field viewing and binocular open-field viewing. Design …
