Table 1.
Refraction | Definition | Number n | Percentage % |
---|---|---|---|
(total n = 81) | |||
Emmetropia | −0.75 D to +2.75 D | 20 | 24.7 |
Hypermetropia only | > +2.75 D | 13 | 16.0 |
Myopia only | >-0.75 D | 1 | 1.2 |
Simple astigmatism | One meridian ametropic and the other meridian emmetropic | 20 | 24.7 |
Hypermetropic Astigmatism | Both meridians hypermetropic | 22 | 27.2 |
Myopic Astigmatism | Both meridians myopic | 5 | 6.2 |
The refraction is for the least ametropic or fixing eye.
