Accuracy and repeatability of autorefraction in young adults: a comparison of cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic methods
A clinically significant difference was observed between non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic autorefraction in young adult participants, particularly among hyperopes. Cycloplegic measurements showed better repeatability, supporting their use for accurate refraction. Further research is needed on potential enhancing effects of proxymetacaine hydrochloride, particularly in diverse populations.
