| Concept | Refractive error measurement |
| Description | Measurements of the refractive error of an individual's eyes, which would need to be corrected for light to be appropriately focused on the retina. |
| Use | Use to record the results and contextual parameters of a measurement of refractive error. Use to record both subjective and objective measurements of a refractive error. Use to record both examiner-led subjective refration and autorefractometer-based subjective refraction. Use to record the result of static retinoscopy, |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record a spectacle or contact lens prescription. Not to be used to record the correction used during other tests, such as visual acuity tests. Not to be used to record the results of an overrefraction, which is a measurement of the residual refractive error while a correction is being used. No appropriate Archetype is available at this time. Not to be used to record the results of measurements of accomodative capabilty, including dynamic retinoscopy. No appropriate Archetype is available at this time. |
| Purpose | For recording the results of a measurement of refractive error, which is commonly referred to as performing a refraction. |

| Method | Method: The type of method that was used to perform the measurement.
|
| Targeted Distance | Targeted Distance: The (virtual or real) distance between the eye and the object from which the light rays should be focused on the retina if the measured refractive error is corrected. |
| Targeted Distance category | Targeted Distance category: A categorisation of the targeted distance.

| Device Details | Device Details: Details of the device used to measure refraction. Include: openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.device.v1 and specialisations |
| Confounding Factors | Confounding Factors: Patient circumstances which affect interpretation of the result. Often termed 'reliability' in opthalmological documentation. Examples: 'Patient was confused', 'Low light conditions'. |

| Pupil state | Pupil state: Statement describing the condition of the individual's pupils during the measurement. Comment: The physical examination of the eye will be recorded using the CLUSTER.exam-eye family of archetypes. Coding with a terminology is recommended. Free text entry should only be permitted if no appropriate coded value is available. Choice of:
|
| Assumed pupil diameter | Assumed pupil diameter: The diameter of the pupil which is assumed to have been present during the measurement of refractive error Typically based on an observation or measurement of pupil diameter which may be recorded in a separate OBSERVATION. Property: Length Units: mm |
| Assumed vertex distance | Assumed vertex distance: The vertex distance that was assumed or measured as a basis for the measurement of refractive error. |
| Set interpupillary distance | Set interpupillary distance: The interpupillary distance which was set in the device used to measure the refractive error. Not an observation or measurement of the tested individual's true interpupillary distance, but rather a recording of the interpupillary distance which was set in the testing device (such as a phoropter) during the measurement of refractive error. Measurements of Interpupillary distances will be recorded in another archetype. Property: Length Units: mm |
