Assesment of the QuickSee wavefront autorefractor for characterizing refractive errors in school-age children.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the performance of an open-view binocular handheld aberrometer (QuickSee) for diagnosing refractive errors in children.

Methods

123 school-age children (9.9 ± 3.3 years) with moderate refractive error underwent autorefraction (AR) with a standard desktop device and subjective refraction (SR), with or without cycloplegia to determine their eyeglass prescription. Measurements with QuickSee (QS) were taken in 62 of these patients without cycloplegia (NC), and in 61 under cycloplegia (C). Differences in refraction values (AR vs SR vs QS) as well as the visual acuity (VA) achieved by the patients with each method (QS vs SR) were used to evaluate the performance of the device in measuring refractive error.

Results

The spherical equivalent refraction obtain
