Materials and methods: Included in the study were 62 eyes of 31 pediatric patients. The refractive errors of all of the eyes were measured with and without cycloplegia using a table-top autorefractometer (Potec PRK-6000), hand-held autorefractometer (Nidek ARK-30), and photorefractometer (Plusoptix S08), respectively. The spherical power, cylindrical power, cylindrical axis, spherical equivalent, and interpupillary distance values obtained were statistically compared.
