| Refractive parameter | Photorefraction without cycloplegia/autorefraction with cycloplegia | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean ± SD | Range | P | |
| DSE, D | −0.39 ± 0.93 | –1.51 to 3.62 | 0.021∗ |
| DS, D | −0.44 ± 1.02 | –1.75 to 3.75 | 0.016∗ |
| DC, D | 0.10 ± 0.48 | –2.00 to 1.00 | 0.75 |
| DA, D | 0.28 ± 0.30 | 0.00 to 2.18 | NA |
D: diopters; SD: standard deviation; DSE: difference in mean spherical equivalent; DS: difference in mean spherical power; DC: difference in mean cylindrical power; ∗P < 0.05; NA: not applicable.
