Determining refraction is one of the core competences of optometry. Subjective measurement using the cross-cylinder method is still the gold standard, both in education and in practical application. New technologies have the potential to replace tried and tested refraction methods. In addition, the digital transformation under the buzzword “artificial intelligence” is clearly penetrating all areas of life. Those who do not use AI seem to be falling behind. Do we need to rethink our approach? Will traditional subjective refraction soon become obsolete? What innovative refraction methods have emerged? The lecture will provide a comprehensive overview of current developments in refraction testing.

About Hans-Jürgen Grein
After completing his apprenticeship as an optician, Hans-Jürgen Grein graduated with a degree in ophthalmic optics from Aalen University of Applied Sciences. He then studied medicine at the University of Würzburg, where he passed his ophthalmological training at the University Eye Clinic. He completed his doctorate on laser scanning tomography and set up a low vision outpatient clinic at the Eye Hospital. In 2001, he was appointed to a professorship in ophthalmic optics at the University of Applied Sciences in Jena, where he served until 2007. Since then, he has been a professor at the Technical University of Applied Sciences of Lübeck, working in the field of medical optics. Additionally, he is the Head of Science at the Fielmann Academy Schloss Plön. He teaches courses in general and ocular anatomy and pathology, optometry, and physiological optics. He has lectured and published extensively in the fields of optometry.
