Abstract
Retinoscopy, also known as skiascopy, is an objective method for assessing the
refraction of the eye. This method has been used for a long time, both in animals
and human patients. According to the literature, it has been postulated that it is not
necessary to obtain cycloplegia before the examination in lower mammals. Some
authors even mention that it can make the examination more difficult. Therefore it
is not recommended. In this study of 21 cats of different ages, it has been shown
that cats can accommodate during the retinoscopy, even adult cats, which makes
the results unreliable. This implies that cycloplegia should be induced in this
species, for instance by application of atropine eye drops before the examination.
