Comparison of reproducibility of retinoscopy, subjective refraction, and autorefraction measurements in adults11 with reproducibility of Retinomax measured values in children
| Method | Study | Sample (n) | Mean difference (D) | Standard deviation (D) | 95% Confidence interval (D) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retinoscopy | Zadnik et al 11 | Adults (40) | 0.07 | 0.48 | −0.87 to 1.02 |
| Subjective refraction | Zadnik et al 11 | Adults (40) | −0.01 | 0.48 | −0.95 to 0.93 |
| Autorefraction | Zadnik et al 11 | Adults (40) | 0.05 | 0.16 | −0.27 to 0.37 |
| Retinomax | Present study | Children (35) | −0.06 | 0.21 | −0.47 to 0.35 |
↵Mean of the differences between two measurements in the vertical meridian (right eye only).
↵For each subject, the difference (D) between the first two measured values of spherical power in the vertical meridian was determined. Subjects with oblique axes of astigmatism (that is, greater than 20° from horizontal or vertical) were not included in these analyses.
