ABSTRACT
We studied the utility of hand held autorefractometer on the cycloplegic refraction for poor coorperated children by analyzing the data taken from hand held autorefractometer(Retinomax) and Canon R-10 autorefractometer. Seventy patients(140 eyes) were studied. We divided them into two groups according to the age Group I included patients less than 4 years, Group II over 4 years. There were no statistic significant differences in the spherical and cylindrical values regardless of age and cooperability in cases of less than 6 diopter but statistic significant difference in cases of high refractive errors (>6 diopter) or cylindrical axis values. In Conclusion, this study revealed that hand held autorefractometer was useful for checking refraction of the poor coorperated children and the spherical and cylindrical values of Retinomax have no differences from the values of R-10 in the cases of less than 6 diopter.
