Sir, We are grateful for the interest shown by Professor Wiwanitkit in our article on the modified Bruckner's test (MBT).[1] It is heartening to note that he agrees with our opinion that the MBT may prove to be a good screening test to detect amblyopiogenic conditions. Our study was not undertaken to analyze the cost-effectiveness of the MBT and hence are unable to comment further than pointing out that because the retinoscope is such simple and affordable equipment with universal applicability, if it were to perform as well as costlier equipment like the MTI photoscreeners in detecting amblyopia, then it might offer a cost-effective alternative. We have not been able to access the article by Tongue that is referred by Wiwanitkit.[2] We agree that the conventional Bruckner's test, performed with the ophthalmoscope, is not a new test.[3] There are no articles in literature discussing the use of the retinoscope, streak or otherwise, to analyze the red reflexes to detect strabismus and anisometropia. We believe that the streak retinoscope, due to its very nature, will improve the yield in detecting anisometropia, and this is evident in our analyses.
