LOINC Code 62707-5: PhenX - refractive error - child protocol 111402
62707-5 is a LOINC code used to identify PhenX - refractive error - child protocol 111402 in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component PhenX - refractive error - child protocol 111402. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

What it does not mean
- The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.
Key facts
- PhenX - refractive error - child protocol 111402
- Refractive error in children is measured using cycloplegic autorefraction with the Retinomax. Eyes undergo cycloplegia after pupillary dilating eyedrops and eight readings of refractive error of each eye are taken with the Retinomax in the Refractions and Keratometry mode. In instances where cycloplegic autorefraction cannot be obtained on an eye or when it is of poor quality (Retinomax confidence rating <= 7), cycloplegic retinoscopy is performed to obtain a measure of refractive error. This protocol uses Retinomax to measure refractive error in children. Other instruments can be used to measure refractive error. If other instruments are used, the reproducibility of the measurements should be comparable to those acquired with this protocol. In addition, when other instruments are used to collect these measurements, the manufacturer and model of equipment should be recorded. These other devices may require some different steps than are described in this protocol. Investigators should follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions to ensure quality control.
