Purpose:
– To compare the accuracy of static and Mohindra retinoscopy and commercially available autorefractor
– To determine the necessity of cycloplegic refraction in 15-30 years age groups.
– To know the necessity of cycloplegic refraction in future.
Methods:
This is a cross sectional, non-randomized study using purposive sampling for 1.5years. 200 eyes of 100 patients aged 15-30 years satisfying the inclusion criteria were evaluated.
A written informed consent was taken. Baseline data was collected. Autorefraction and retinoscopy were done pre and post cycloplegia. Post mydriatic testing was done.
Results
Pearson’s correlation and Bland-Altman plots show high correlation between static and Mohindra retinoscopy.
Passing and Bablok regression analysis shows a good agreement between these variables.
Conclusion
Static retinoscopy is still the gold standard method of objective refraction. But since it is time consuming and cycloplegic, it can be replaced by Mohindra retinoscopy.
