Q: Can autorefractor detect myopia?

A: Myopia can be easily detected by getting your eyes checked for refraction errors, but lengthy eye exams can be

difficult for children to sit through, so autorefractors now offer an easy solution. Autorefractors can detect refraction

errors in children in as short as five minutes.An autorefractor, or automated refractor, is a computer-controlled device

that is used during an eye exam to check how the eye processes light. Autorefractors measure refractive error in just

seconds and automatically determines a person's refractive error.
