Refraction
becomes
instinct.
Drag the dial. Watch the chart clear. The moment blur resolves into 6/5 is the moment clinical training actually works.
The profession
is falling behind
its own standards.
National board pass rates have declined 14 points in six years. CET completion gaps spike every November. The most-failed competency areas are exactly the ones that separate good refractors from great clinicians.

Every one of these gaps maps directly to a module inside Refract. The platform was built backwards from failure data — not forward from a curriculum committee.
