[Retinoscopy under cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic conditions in children comparison of measurements of three examiners (author's transl)]. 1981

K Bujara, and E Schulz, and W Haase

The refractive status of 100 eyes were measured by three ophthalmologists utilizing retinoscopy under non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic conditions. The statistical analysis of the results was done by multiple regression. The retinoscopic measurements of sphere and cylinder of the three examiners show smaller differences under cycloplegic than under non-cycloplegic conditions. The largest differences in the measurements of axis were found in cases of small cylinder power. Especially in children and in patients with strabismus, the authors feel that measurements of the refractive state have to be carried out under cycloplegia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006956 Hyperopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. (Dorland, 27th ed) Farsightedness,Hypermetropia
D009184 Mydriatics Agents that dilate the pupil. They may be either sympathomimetics or parasympatholytics. Cycloplegic,Cycloplegics,Mydriatic,Mydriatic Effect,Mydriatic Effects,Effect, Mydriatic,Effects, Mydriatic
D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
D009887 Ophthalmoscopy Examination of the interior of the eye with an ophthalmoscope. Ophthalmoscopies
D010648 Phenylacetates Derivatives of phenylacetic acid. Included under this heading are a variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the benzeneacetic acid structure. Note that this class of compounds should not be confused with derivatives of phenyl acetate, which contain the PHENOL ester of ACETIC ACID. Benzeneacetates,Benzeneacetic Acids,Phenylacetic Acids,Acids, Benzeneacetic,Acids, Phenylacetic
D012029 Refraction, Ocular Refraction of LIGHT effected by the media of the EYE. Ocular Refraction,Ocular Refractions,Refractions, Ocular
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003519 Cyclopentolate A parasympatholytic anticholinergic used solely to obtain mydriasis or cycloplegia. Cyclogyl
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000065 Accommodation, Ocular The dioptric adjustment of the EYE (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. Ocular accommodation is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the CRYSTALLINE LENS. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for VISION, OCULAR at various distances.
