About

The comparative efficacy of the duochrome test versus +1 blur test in detecting refractive errors across different ages remains underexplored in current ophthalmic research. While the duochrome test is widely used to refine prescriptions, its standalone effectiveness compared to +1 blur test based refraction has not been thoroughly investigated.

Full description

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, accuracy, and reliability of the duochrome test in identifying refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, across various ages. Refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, are leading causes of visual impairment, requiring precise diagnostic tools. The duochrome test utilizes chromatic aberration to refine prescriptions, whereas the +1 blur test assesses spherical correction accuracy.
