Abstract

INTRODUCTION: WE COMPARED PLUSOPTIX WITH STANDARD AUTOREFRACTOR FOR EFFICACY

METHOD:A PROSPECTIVE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED,WE ENROLLED PATIENTS SUBJECTED TO REFRACTION BY PLUS OPTIX FOLLOWED BY REFRACTION BY STANDARD AUTOREFRACTOR (TOPCON RM 800) DATA COLLECTION DONE IN ONLINE FORMAT AND EXPORTED IN EXCEL SHEET. DATA ANALYSED WITH SPSS-22 UNIVARIATE AND MULTI VARIATE ANALYSIS DONE. COMPARATIVE STUDY DONE WITH CROSS TABULATION AND STUDENT T TEST. P<0.05 CONSIDERED STASTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. RESULT: WE ENROLLED 75 CHILDREN OUT OF THESE 42 MALE 33 FEMALE WITH MEAN AGE 9.5YRS. ON COMPARATIVE STUDY WE DID NOT DETECT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN SPHERICAL VALUES AND CYLINDRICAL READINGS MEASURED BY PLUS OPTIX AND AUTO REFRACTORS (P= 0.115, p=0.152) CONCLUSION: PLUS OPTIX IS RELIABLE METHOD OF OBJECTIVE REFRACTION AND SCREENING
