Brief Summary
Myopia is a public health problem, affecting the general population worldwide. The common modalities for correcting myopia include spectacles, contact lenses, and surgical procedures. Cycloplegic refraction is considered the gold standard for measuring refractive errors, especially in children. It has been well-established that generally myopia could be overestimated and hyperopia be underestimated if refraction was performed without cycloplegia.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Sphere of the eye
It means that the correction for nearsightedness or farsightedness is spherical, equal in all meridians of the eye. This indicates the amount of lens power, measured in diopters (D), prescribed to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. If the number appearing under this heading has a minus sign (-), you are nearsighted; if the number has a plus sign (+) or is not preceded by a plus sign or a minus sign, you are farsighted. It is measured by Auto-refractor

It is measured by Auto-refractor
Immediate after 30 minutes of cycloplegic addition
cylinder of the eye
This indicates the amount of lens power for astigmatism and represents the difference in the greatest and weakest powers of the eye, usually separated by 90 degrees. If nothing appears in this column, either you have no astigmatism, or your astigmatism is so slight that it is not necessary to correct it with your eyeglass lenses. The number in the cylinder column may be preceded with a minus sign (for the correction of nearsighted astigmatism) or a plus sign (for farsighted astigmatism). Cylinder power always follows sphere power in an eyeglass prescription. It is measured by Autorefractor.

Study Arms (1)
Cycloplegic refraction
OTHERAll refractions were measured before and after cycloplegic addition to the eye.
Interventions
they are drugs that paralyze the ciliary muscles and cause relaxation of accommodation.
