Abstract

The video retinoscope presented here makes it possible for the first time to interactively demonstrate, discuss, evaluate and document optical phenomena with the aid of an integrated touch display. The precision in relation to the objective refraction results between the conventional retinoscope (CS) and video retinoscope (VS) is comparable (p = 0.093, Wilcoxon test). On the basis of questionnaires using visual analogue scales (0 = very unfavorable/10 = very favorable; subsequently the median/interquartile range is given) during apilot study, 12test persons rated the CS (VS) with respect to the feasibility of continuous light band movements with 6.9/1.3 (6.0/4.2) and the ease of use with 8.1/2.1 (8.9/1.6) out of amaximum of 10points each and thus both retinoscopes as equivalent. In terms of weight, the subjects favored the conventional retinoscope with arating of 8.7/2.2 (4.0/4.8).
