Cylinder axis was determined under manifest and cycloplegic refractions and using Allegro Occulyzer ІІ and Allegro Topolyzer-Vario platforms. Cylinder axis agreement was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient and by the method described by Bland and Altman.Results: Intraclass correlation coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient showed statistically significant cylinder axis agreement between manifest refraction, cycloplegic refraction, Allegro Oculyzer ІІ and Allegro Topolyzer-Vario (p < 0.001). Despite statistically significant cylinder axis agreement between the four measuring tools, 4 of 156 eyes (2.5%) showed unexpected discrepancy between Allegro Oculyzer ІІ and Allegro Topolyzer-Vario cylinder axis.Conclusion: Although cylinder axis shows statistically significant agreement between manifest refraction, cycloplegic refraction, Allegro Oculyzer ІІ and Allegro Topolyzer-Vario, unexpected discrepancies occur.Keywords: manifest refraction, cycloplegic refraction, Allegro Oculyzer ІІ, Allegro Topolyzer-Vario, PRK, LASIKNabil KMDove Medical Pressarticlemanifest refractioncycloplegic refractionallegro oculyzer ііallegro topolyzer-varioprklasik.OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 977-984 (2020)
