cycloplegic refraction

refraction

[re-frak´shun]

the act or process of refracting; specifically, the determination of the refractive errors of the eye and their correction with glasses.

the deviation of light in passing obliquely from one medium to another of different density.

cycloplegic refraction a type of static refraction, measured after lens accommodation is paralyzed by administration of cycloplegic eye drops.

double refraction refraction in which incident rays are divided into two refracted rays.

dynamic refraction refraction of the eye during accommodation.

ocular refraction the refraction of light produced by the media of the normal eye and resulting in the focusing of images upon the retina.

static refraction refraction of the eye when its accommodation is paralyzed.

cycloplegic refraction

a type of static refraction, measured after lens accommodation is paralyzed by administration of cycloplegic eyedrops.

In this study, we observed differences between high myopia and control eyes with respect to choroidal thickness, AL, cycloplegic refraction, SE, and BCVA.

It is important to perform cycloplegic refraction to ensure that decompensation is not due to uncorrected hyperopia.

This would then be followed by a cycloplegic refraction and a fundus and media examination either by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Key advice was offered on the risk factors to consider for heterotropia and amblyopia (eg, maternal drug use, genetics/family history, forceps injury and prematurity), the importance of crowding effects on VA measurements, the usefulness of the 20 Base Out prism test for detecting amblyopia, indications for cycloplegic refraction, and indications for occlusion therapy.

We provide: pre and post cataract assessments, IOP refinement, MECS, which is similar to a PEARS scheme, and a paediatric service which provides cycloplegic refractions in the community allowing greater communication between optometrists and orthoptists.
