A New Automated Subjective Optometer‗

Key Points

• To evaluate the performance of an automated optometer for measuring refractive findings in comparison to traditional clinical methods.
• Tested 376 eyes using the new optometer with simulated distance targets.
• Compared findings from the new optometer with conventional clinical refraction methods.
• Assessed the repeatability of refraction results.
• Most differences in refractive findings were within acceptable limits of repeatability for standard tests.
• The automated optometer provided comparable results to conventional methods.
