Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Current refraction assessment in children is dependent on the Eye Care Specialist and lacks standardization. Essilor has developed new algorithm assisted subjective refraction software dedicated to children of 6-12 years old and suitable for use with Vision-S™ and Vision-R™ phoropters, in addition to existing software.

Two different versions of the software have been developed: the first incorporating only the steps needed to perform an entire subjective refraction process (vA), and the second, identical to the first but incorporating additional steps useful for managing the child's attention and cooperation (vB).

The software performance in terms of subjective refraction results will be compared to a conventional subjective refraction method performed with the Vision-R™700 phoropter in manual mode.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of the investigation is to evaluate the accuracy of the Kids refraction software results performed with the phoropters Vision-R™700 and Vision-S™700 compared to the conventional subjective refraction method results performed with Vision-R™700. Phase A of the investigation will focus on the validation of the first version (Kids refraction software vA), and phase B will involve the second version (Kids refraction software vB).

There are two phases in the investigation:

Phase A:

To evaluate the agreement of the subjective refraction results (Sphere, Cylinder, Axis, VA) between the Kids Refraction software vA (randomization between Vision-R or Vision-S devices) results and a conventional subjective refraction (performed with Vision-R), in a non-cycloplegic condition.

Phase B:

To evaluate the agreement of the subjective refraction results (Sphere, Cylinder, Axis, VA) between the Kids Refraction software vB with additional attention and cooperation stages (randomization between Vision-R or Vision-S devices) results and a conventional subjective refraction (performed with Vision-R), in a non-cycloplegic condition.
