L8 SUBJECTIVE REFRACTION
LE require very high plus lens to fog, may result in double vision and

• Refraction in some patient needs to be done under cycloplegia.
• Paralyse ciliary muscle so that the refraction is not influenced by the
accommodation.
• Need to know the indication.
• Most of the patient do not need cycloplegic refraction.
