Abstract
Background: A blurred image caused by the shape of the eye which does not bend light correctly. It is a major health problem globally affecting a large number of people with many ocular morbidities. Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the noncycloplegic refractive error with cycloplegic refractive error using autorefractometer. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in Department of ophthalmology, Nizam Medical College, Hyderabad between August 2018 to August 2019. Total number of patients selected were 70. Results: Autorefractometer values were comparable between pre and post cycloplegic values which were 23 and 24 right and left eyes of hypermetropia patients. From dioptric range, number of patients increased significantly (+0.25 to +1.25) to (+2.75 to +3.75) which was 11 to 26 and 21 to 32 right and left eyes respectively. P value in right eye and left eye was
