    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • The standard Jackson Cross Cylinder (JCC) test presents challenges in subjective refraction due to the need for alternating image viewing.
    • Difficulties with the JCC test include patient choice, testing speed, and comprehension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel simultaneous refraction technique as an alternative to the JCC test.
    • To assess the efficiency, reliability, and patient acceptance of the new method.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a new system for subjective refraction, eliminating the need for alternating image viewing.
    • Implementation of the MSR (simultaneous) technique as the primary method for subjective refraction in a clinical setting.
    • Comparison of outcomes and patient feedback with traditional methods.

    Main Results:

    • The new system demonstrated advantages in ease of patient choice, testing speed, patient preference, and ease of understanding.
    • Minor difficulties, such as initial confusion with viewing two images or target clarity issues, were resolved through technique adjustments.
    • Patients using the MSR technique reported no problems and achieved good acuities, indicating efficiency and reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The simultaneous refraction technique serves as a valuable and efficient adjunct to standard subjective refraction methods.
    • This technique enhances patient experience and provides reliable outcomes for determining refractive error, particularly astigmatism correction.
