Abstract

Purpose: To measure higher-order aberrations (HOA) in healthy children and to examine the relationship of HOA to refractive error and cycloplegia. Methods: Aberrometry (VISX Wavescan, USA) was performed preand post- cycloplegia on healthy school children with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20. Results: Included were 109 eyes of 56 children. Three were excluded because of poor image quality. The mean spherical equivalent (SE) among myopes was -1.058 D (-0.02 to -4.85 D) and among hyperopes was +0.462 D (+0.01 to +1.31 D). Total HOA root mean square (RMS) pre-cycloplegia was 0.239 +/- 0.073, and post-cycloplegia was 0.244 +/- 0.082, (p = 0.314). Z31 and Z40 showed increases (p = 0.004 and < 0.001, respectively) and Z51 and Z60 showed decreases (p
