Description
Imene Salah-Mabed and co-authors compare an algorithm-driven eye exam against an expert's manual refraction, in this 2026 study. Subjective refraction, the familiar which-lens-is-clearer routine, depends on examiner skill. The automated system tested here runs the exam by algorithm and prints its own report. The trial enrolled 107 adults at a Paris foundation with a wide spread of vision errors.
Results from the two methods were converted into three power components for fair comparison. Mean gaps were near zero, with one component off by a small, clinically trivial amount. Agreement ranges were tighter than the usual spread between two human examiners. The expert judged the system's reports accurate in every case. The authors conclude the automated exam matches expert work.
