Repeatability of Subjective Refraction in Different Age Groups

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the inter-examiner repeatability of subjective refraction across diverse age cohorts, an aspect not previously investigated. Methods: A cross-sectional, randomized study enrolled 86 participants (mean age: 37.0 ± 18.0 years), distributed into three...

Methods: A cross-sectional, randomized study enrolled 86 participants (mean age: 37.0 ± 18.0 years), distributed into three groups: youth, non-presbyopic adults, and presbyopic adults. Each participant underwent three subjective refractions by three different optometrists on separate days. Repeatability analysis encompassed all refractive variables (M, J0, and J45). Results: There were no significant differences between optometrists in all refractive variables for either the overall sample or across age groups (p ≥ 0.05). Additionally, no correlation was found between participants’ age and the mean difference in refractive variables across optometrists (p ≥ 0.05). The 95% confidence interval of repeatability (r) for the total sample was ±0.70 D for M, ±0.29 for J0, and ±0.21 D for J45. Conclusions: Based on these findings and previous research, it is suggested to establish 95% limits of agreement of ±0.75 D for M, and between ±0.25 D and ±0.50 D for both J0 and J45 when validating new refraction systems compared to subjective refraction as the gold standard, regardless of the age of the subjects evaluated.MDPIUniversidad Complutense de Madrid20242024-07-0220242024-07-02journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/113531reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/1135312026-06-02T12:44:21Z
