How long to wait to refract after instilling cyclo drops for children with brown irides?
This study aimed to assess the time needed for effective cycloplegia after instillation of 1% cyclopentolate drops in children with brown irides. The study recruited 161 consecutive patients aged three to 16 years. All had refraction on arrival, then instillation...
Spot screen versus cycloplegic refraction
This study compared the spherical, cylindrical and spherical equivalent values obtained by the Spot screener before and after induction of cycloplegia with the values of cycloplegic refraction to explore the application value of the Spot screener in refractive error screening...

Greater accuracy of cycloplegic refraction
The authors conducted this study on 5320 pre-school (four to six-year-old) and 6475 school (seven to ten years) children to compare the results of final glasses prescription based on cycloplegic refraction with atropine to those of non-cycloplegic refraction. For younger...ZEISS Biometry Mastery Course (6 Feb 24)
6 February 2024
This is a one-day course which will be running on Tuesday 6 & Wednesday 7 February - attendees have the choice of either date on a first-come-first-served basis.
The 'Biometry Mastery Course' is exclusively tailored for pre-assessment nurses in cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery, as well as dedicated Ophthalmic professionals. With a comprehensive curriculum encompassing eye anatomy, refraction, cataract surgery, biometry principles, best practices, formulas and IOL constants, participants will delve into the heart of biometry. Our practical workshops, featuring the IOLMaster 700, equip attendees with the key knowledge, skills and understanding to perform accurate and precise biometry and how they relate to the patient pathway.
