Abstract: Purpose: To assess the agreement of the Eyerobo VS with the ARK-1 and subjective refraction (SR) and repeatability of the Eyerobo VS three measurements cycloplegic refraction in children and adolescents. Patients and Methods: This study included 158 participants (316 eyes) aged 10.33 ± 2.10. All participants underwent eye examinations, including the ARK-1, the Eyerobo VS, and SR. The refractive error-related parameters included Sphere, spherical equivalent (SE), J0, and J45. Bland-Altman analysis was used to assess the agreement between the Eyerobo VS and the ARK-1 and the agreement between the Eyerobo VS and SR. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the repeatability of the Eyerobo VS three measurements. Results: The Eyerobo VS showed agreement with the ARK-1 within 0.5 D of 81.0% (Sphere), 79.4% (SE), 96.8% (J0), and 99.7% (J45). The Eyerobo VS showed agreement with SR within 0.5 D of 82.9% (Sphere), 79.4% (SE), 96.2% (J0), and 100.0% (J45). The ICC for the three measurements of the Eyerobo VS was 0.97 for Sphere and 0.95 for SE, respectively. Conclusion: The refractive measurement cycloplegic refraction of the Eyerobo VS showed high reliability and good agreement with the ARK-1 and SR on Sphere, SE, J0, and J45. The Eyerobo VS portable autorefractor could facilitate large-scale vision screening in schools and remote areas.
