    Remote-controlled phoropters like the Rodenstock/Coburn Phoromat and Möller/CooperVision Visutron provided the most accurate subjective refractions. The Reichert SR-IV was the fastest instrument for vision analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Accurate subjective refraction is crucial for optimal visual correction.
    • Evaluating the performance of different refraction instruments is essential for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the accuracy, visual acuity outcomes, and measurement time of four different subjective refraction instruments.
    • To identify the most accurate and efficient instruments for clinical use.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 115 normal subjects and 118 patients.
    • Subjective refractions were performed using the Humphrey Vision Analyzer, Möller/CooperVision Visutron, Reichert SR-IV, and Rodenstock/Coburn Phoromat.
    • Analysis of prescription accuracy, visual acuity results, and time efficiency.

    Main Results:

    • The Rodenstock/Coburn Phoromat and Möller/CooperVision Visutron demonstrated the highest accuracy in subjective refractions.
    • The Reichert SR-IV was found to be the fastest instrument among those tested.
    • Visual acuity results were analyzed in conjunction with prescription accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Remote-controlled phoropters (Phoromat and Visutron) offer superior accuracy for subjective refraction.
    • The SR-IV provides the quickest measurement, though accuracy may vary.
    • Instrument choice impacts both efficiency and precision in vision testing.
