PURPOSE: To describe a lens minibar that facilitates refraction. METHODS: Ten lenses of 1-diopter increment were glued to form a hyperopic minibar (range from +1.00 to +5.00) and a myopic minibar (range from −1.00 to −5.00), the size of a credit card. RESULTS: The lens minibar allowed expedited refr...

Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To describe a lens minibar that facilitates refraction. METHODS: Ten lenses of 1-diopter increment were glued to form a hyperopic minibar (range from +1.00 to +5.00) and a myopic minibar (range from −1.00 to −5.00), the size of a credit card. RESULTS: The lens minibar allowed expedited refraction in children and in consultations that took place outside the clinic. CONCLUSION: The lens minibar is an inexpensive, small, lightweight tool that facilitates quick refraction.
