Introduction The accurate determination of the refraction is an essential prerequisite to ensuring clear and comfortable vision for the Introduction patient. Particular attention must always be paid to its assessment. This document in the Essilor Ophthalmic Optics Files series examines refraction from a practical point of view. The file provides a concise summary of a number of simple and proven techniques selected from the large number of methods available. Its goal is not to deal exhaustively with the subject, but rather to discuss certain basic principles of refraction that are useful to practitioners. The file has been developed in response to numerous requests from practitioners in countries where the practice of refraction is rapidly expanding. The principal objective of this file is to help eye care pro- fessionals manage their patients and meet their eye care needs, in the hope that this may increase the level of customer and practitioner satisfaction.
