Comparative Study Of Dynamic Near-Point Refraction Assessment.

Two forms of common clinical assessment of dynamic near-point refraction are compared to one research model. Dynamic Retinoscopy Method of Nott and the Monocular Estimation Method have been used in the clinical setting for many years. A less familiar method of assessment from the laboratory setting is the Laser Optometer. A comparative study using each of the three techniques on 36 subjects was performed. The results and statistical analysis of the data will be discussed. The discussion will allow the reader to derive his or her own conclusion regarding the feasibility and viability of each technique.
