A thorough ophthalmic examination of a child must include a refraction and this is often done with cycloplegia. In our study, we aim to determine at which age group a non-cycloplegic refraction technique closely correlates with a cycloplegic refraction and hence, would obviate the need for cycloplegic refraction in our routine clinical practice.

Mean spherical error (MSE) of less than or equal to 0.50D between the non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic refractive results .
MSE calculated by subtracting the non-cycloplegic spherical error from the cycloplegic spherical error.
