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
