Are you confused about the data on the optometry sheet? In fact, most of the results are only the reference provided by computer optometry, and can not directly determine your glasses needs. Eye B-ultrasound and corneal topography are only examination methods, which have no direct significance to refractive data. This article will reveal the truth of optometry, help you get real refractive data, and ensure an accurate assessment of your own and your family's eye health.

Routine optometry process

Want to know the true refraction of children's eyes? Don't worry, the regular optometry process is the key. At present, the conclusion of "hyperopia" on these lists is only based on mydriasis and cannot be used as the final diagnosis. Pupil enlargement does not represent normal physiological state. Only after 2~3 weeks of mydriasis, the drug effect disappears and the pupil returns to normal, and the data at that time is the most true and accurate.

Data authenticity

Doctors may not explicitly mention this, but the truth behind the data is worth exploring. If you carefully compare the data of the last two lists, you will find that they tend to be negative. If so, the handwritten 0.5 on the first two lists may be questionable, while the 0.8 on the last two lists is closer to the real situation. But please note that these are only approximate values.

The doctor suggested

Now, it is very important to obtain real refractive data. Otherwise, there is a risk of being "amblyopia". This is also a means of generating income for ophthalmology in some hospitals. Please be careful and follow the doctor's advice to ensure an accurate assessment of the eye health of yourself and your family.
