    This study found that laser refraction methods estimating speckle speed are less accurate for determining observer ametropia compared to methods focusing on the plane of stationarity. Accuracy limitations were observed even with experienced individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optics
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Subjective refraction is crucial for accurate vision correction.
    • Laser refraction offers objective methods for refractive error assessment.
    • Speckle movement estimation is a proposed parameter in some laser refraction techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the validity of laser refraction expressions for key optical parameters.
    • To compare the accuracy of speckle velocity estimation versus plane of stationarity methods for ametropia assessment.
    • To determine the precision of subjective refraction techniques based on speckle speed.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined laser refraction using a cylindrical drum.
    • Assessed expressions for the plane of stationarity and speckle movement speed.

  • Investigated observer ametropia estimation based on these parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • Satisfactory agreement was found between theoretical models and experimental results.
    • Methods relying on speckle velocity estimation showed a large standard deviation (approx. 0.5 D.S.).
    • Speckle speed estimation methods were less accurate and precise than those using the plane of stationarity.

    Conclusions:

    • Laser refraction techniques based on the plane of stationarity are more accurate for determining observer ametropia.
    • Subjective refraction methods using speckle velocity estimation are unlikely to match the precision of plane of stationarity methods.
    • Further refinement of laser refraction techniques is needed for optimal clinical application.
