Interexaminer reproducibility for subjective refractions for an ametropic participant.

Removal of possible outliers for OD and OS, respectively, reduces the absolute 95% reproducibility limits for the stigmatic and astigmatic coefficients to ≤0.97 D and ≤0.49 D, thus improving interexaminer reproducibility. However, these results suggest caution with analysis of refractive data where subjective rather than objective methods are applied for longitudinal and epidemiological studies.
