Use of an automatic refractometer as a screening tool for pigment dispersion syndrome detection

We read with great interest the review article by Bustamante-Arias and coworkers concerning pigment dispersion syndrome.1 They emphasized that detection of spoke-like iris transillumination defects in pigment dispersion syndrome requires a careful search. Referring to the diagnoses of this sight-threatening disease, we recently published an article suggesting that an automatic refractometer could be used as a simple and rapid screening tool for detecting iris transillumination defects in this ocular entity.
