Evaluation of the agreement between automated Program-Operated phoropter subjective refraction and Optometrist-Performed subjective refraction
NCT ID NCT07891897
First seen Oct 23, 2026 · Last updated Oct 23, 2026
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the performance of an automated subjective refraction system that operates a digital phoropter. By comparing its results with those obtained through conventional subjective refraction performed by an optometrist, the study will assess the agreement in refractive prescriptions and examine examination efficiency, repeatability, and participant experience, thereby providing evidence for the further application of automated subjective refraction technology.
