PURPOSE: To evaluate the repeatability of corneal first-surface aberrations and aberrometric measurements of a combined aberrometer topographer (iTrace Visual Function Analyzer) for 5 accommodative stimuli.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany.DESIGN: Prospective case series.METHODS: Eyes of young adults with low to moderate myopia or hyperopia were examined in 2 measurement series comprising 3 corneal topography measurements and wavefront measurements focusing on targets at 5 distances (0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0, and 4.0 m). Repeatability was analyzed using the standard deviation (SD) within 6 measurements and the coefficient of repeatability (CoR) by Bland-Altman analysis of the means of the 2 measurement series.RESULTS: Fifty eyes (50 subjects) were evaluated. The lowest calculated mean SD/CoR measurements using the aberrometer function at 5 target distances were 0.07 mu m/0.14 mu m for total ocular aberrations root mean square (RMS), 0.07 mu m/0.16 mu m for lower-order aberrations (LOAs) RMS, 0.03 mu m/0.66 mu m for higher-order aberrations (HOAs) RMS, 0.10 diopter (D)/0.22 D for sphere, 0.08 D/0.13 D for cylinder, and 0.09 D/0.21 D for the spherical equivalent (SE). Repeatability of the total RMS, LOAs RMS, sphere, and SE measurements improved with increasing target distance (P < .01 for aberrometric values; P < .03 for refractive values). Measurement reproducibility using the corneal topographer showed mean SDs/CoRs of 0.19 mu m/0.41 mu m for total RMS, 0.19 mu m/0.39 mu m for LOAs RMS, and 0.08 mu m/0.23 mu m for HOAs RMS.CONCLUSION: The aberrometer showed satisfactory results for measurement repeatability at all target distances and declining repeatability with increasing accommodation effort.
