Incidence of refractive errors in 600 patients as determined by computerized refractometry

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out in 600 patients [1200 eyes], 434 were males [868 eyes], and 166 were females [332 eyes]. They were of different nationalities attending the out patient eye clinic in the Royal Commission Hospital in Yanbu El-Sinayeia Saudi Arabia complaining subjected to automated refractometry using "Topcon Rm-A6000" computerized refractometer. In about 97% of cases a visual acuity of 6/6 was obtained in our patients. The results of different types of refractive errors were tabulated and compared with similar findings done by various authors using the computerized technique
