About the Retinoscopy Session
Retinoscopy is a fundamental procedure in optometry and ophthalmology used to determine a patient's eyeglass prescription. It involves shining a light into the patient's eye and observing the reflection (reflex) off the retina. By adjusting lenses in a trial frame while observing the movement and characteristics of this reflex, the examiner can estimate the patient's refractive error, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia.
The procedure works on the principle of neutralizing the patient's refractive error, thereby determining the lens power needed to correct their vision. Retinoscopy is particularly useful in cases where patients cannot accurately communicate their refractive needs, such as young children or individuals with communication challenges. It forms a crucial part of comprehensive eye exams and is essential for prescribing accurate eyeglasses or contact lenses to improve visual acuity and overall eye health.

Retinoscopy Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Retinoscopy track at IOC 2027?
The Retinoscopy track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Retinoscopy. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Retinoscopy sessions?
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Retinoscopy are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Retinoscopy track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Is virtual attendance available for Retinoscopy sessions?
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Retinoscopy track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
