Overestimation of hyperopia with autorefraction compared with retinoscopy under cycloplegia in school-age children

Aim To compare sphere and cylinder refraction values using retinoscopy and autorefraction under cycloplegic conditions in children. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out using multistage cluster sampling. The target population was children aged 6–12 years in Shahroud, a northern city in Iran. Examinations included measurements of visual acuity, subjective refraction and objective refraction. Objective refraction was measured with...
