- BVCA utilizing refraction results from handheld device compared to manual refraction methods for the age stratum 45 through 65 years [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months ]Best-corrected visual acuity (BVCA) utilizing refraction results using the handheld device with supporting application will be compared to standard manual refraction methods (using a phoropter) for the age stratum 45 through 65 years.
- BVCA utilizing refraction results from handheld device compared to automated refraction methods. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months ]BVCA utilizing refraction results using the handheld device with supporting application will be compared to automated refraction methods (using an autorefractor).
- Assessing similarity of refraction values from the handheld device compared with the phoropter. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 months ]Assessing similarity of refraction values (sphere, cylinder, axis) from the handheld device with supporting application compared with the phoropter through comparative plots and correlations for the age stratum 30 through 65 years and 45 through 65 years.
