Innovative myopic screening platform based on smartphones.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To validate a novel smartphone-based approach for subjective refraction, specifically for myopia screening, offering a cost-effective and accessible tool for at-home vision assessment.

Methods

A total of 230 healthy volunteers, encompassing 460 eyes, aged between 7 and 40 years (mean ± SD: 21.04 ± 7.76), and exhibiting refractive error (RE) ranging from -6.25 to +0.50 diopter (D), were deemed eligible subjects in this research. Subjective refraction assessments were conducted on all subjects, involving both the conventional phoropter examination by experienced optometrists which served as the clinical gold-standard, and the smartphone-based methodology. During smartphone measurement, the screen was gradually moved toward the eye until achieving clear differentia
