Abstract
Background: To investigate the age range for which cycloplegia provides additional information
Aims and Objectives: 1. Assess the effect of 1% Tropicamide use on the of refraction examination results with auto-refractometer 2. To investigate the age range for which cycloplegia provides additional information compared with non-cycloplegic refraction in teenagers and young adults
Materials and Methods: Prospective interventional study with100 patients who presented to the Department of Ophthalmology of a tertiary care center were evaluated for cycloplegia.
Conclusion: Steeper correlation between the change in cycloplegic refraction and final post cycloplegic refraction for those aged 19 years or younger compared with those aged 20 years or older
Keywords: cycloplegia, refraction, auto-refractometer.
