Abstract :

The aim of this study was to describe the sensitivity and specifity of the photoscreener in refractive anomaly screening of 3 to 5 year old-children. The gold standard was streak retinoscopy with cycloplegia. In the period of December 2008 to February 2009 97 children were included in this study (194 eyes), consisting of 51 girls (52.6%) and 46 boys (47.4%). The sensitivity of photoscreener for detecting refractive anomalies in children 3–5 year old was 84.11%, while the specificity was 74.71%. And the accuracy was 79.89%. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 80.36% and the negative predictive value was 79.27%. The positive likelihood ratio was 3.364 and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.211. In this study pseudo-negative was no refractive anomalies which cause amblyopia.
