Near Retinoscopy and Cycloplegic Retinoscopy in Early Primary Grade Schoolchildren

Key Points

To compare the effectiveness of near retinoscopy and cycloplegic retinoscopy in measuring refraction in early grade schoolchildren.
Utilized a noncycloplegic near retinoscopy technique as developed by Mohindra.
Conducted assessments on schoolchildren in early grades.
Compared measurements obtained from both near retinoscopy and cycloplegic retinoscopy.
Both retinoscopy techniques yield similar objective measurements of refraction.
No significant differences in outcomes between the two methods.

Abstract

Abstract Retinoscopy under cycloplegia with various agents can yield varied results. Additionally, cycloplegics can produce adverse local as well as central nervous system disturbances. A noncycloplegic near retinoscopy technique as promulgated by Mohindra is compared with cycloplegic retinoscopy on schoolchildren in early grades. Results obtained by a study utilizing the two techniques show that they yield similar objective measurements of refraction.
