Abstract

Purpose: To determine the variation of refractive error and axis before and after cyclorefraction.

Methodology: An observational, descriptive study had 426 eye and non-probability sampling technique were used. Patient selection according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: A total of 426 eyes were recruited and examined, who lay in our criteria of age The type of astigmatism has been identified by auto-refractometer both before and after instilling the drops of cyclopentolate, and the comparison has been made on the basis of auto-refractometer readings. Out of these 426 eyes, 238 (55.8%) eyes were of males and 188 (44.1%) eyes were of females. The variation of axis after cyclo refraction out of 426 eyes 293 (68.7%) patients had variation of axis before and after cyclo more than 5` degree, among those 293 eyes, 168 (57.3%) were of males and 125 (42.6%) were of females.

Conclusion: The study showed significant variation of refractive error and axis before and after cycloplegic refraction which was greater than 5 degrees. The major shift was compound myopic astigmatism into compound hypermetropic astigmatism.
