Abstract
- We studied the difference between manifest refraction and cycloplegic refraction in 80 myopic eyes between the ages of 5 and 13 years. The followings are its results. 1) The difference between manifest refraction and cycloplegic refraction is less than -0.50D. 2) In case of manifest refraction of less than -2.0D, especially in those under -1.0D we noticed that the effect of cycloplegic refraction was significant. 3) The effect of cycloplegic refraction is inversely proportional to age. 4) In cycloplegic refraction, we can't expect effects except the accurate eye examination.
