A Comparison of Automated and Manifest Refraction: The Effect of Age

Received for publication May’ 2005 Purpose: Autorefraction without subjective refinement is being increasingly employed by opticians in Pakistan for prescribing glasses. The purpose of this study is to compare the refractive correction obtained by autorefraction alone and manifest refraction at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan and to determine the relationship of this difference with age.
