Changes in dynamics of accommodation after accommodative facility training in myopes and emmetropes

چکیده
This study evaluates the effect of accommodative facility training in myopes and emmetropes. Monocular accommodative facility was measured in nine myopes and nine emmetropes for distance and near. Subjective facility was recorded with automated flippers and objective measurements were simultaneously taken with a PowerRefractor. Accommodative facility training (a sequence of 5 min monocular right eye, 5 min monocular left eye, 5 min binocular) was given on three consecutive days and facility was re-assessed on the fifth day. The results showed that training improved the facility rate in both groups. The improvement in facility rates were linked to the time constants and peak velocity of accommodation. Some changes in amplitude seen in emmetropes indicate an improvement in facility rate at the expense of an accurate accommodation response.

All subjects had their IOP measured using...
متن کاملAccommodative stimulus response curve of emmetropes and myopes.
INTRODUCTION Myopes are suspected to be poorer at responding to accommodative stimuli than emmetropes, and this may worsen the degree of their myopia. The study aims to compare the abilities of young adult emmetropes and myopes in responding to accommodative stimuli, as indicated by their Accommodation Stimulus Response Curves (ASRCs) in a predominantly Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHO...

PURPOSE Evidence exists for an additional inhibitory accommodative control system mediated by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This work aims to show the relative prevalence of sympathetic inhibition in young emmetropic and myopic adults, and to evaluate the effect of sympathetic facility on accommodative and oculomotor function. METHODS Profiling of ciliary muscl...
متن کاملTransient Axial Length Change during the Accommodation Response in Young Adults.
PURPOSE To measure the degree of transient axial elongation during the accommodation response in emmetropic and myopic young adults. To evaluate the effect of refractive error and accommodative demand on transient axial elongation of the eye. METHODS Axial length of the right eye was measured in 30 emmetropes and 30 myopes, by using the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA), while ...
متن کاملDynamic accommodation and myopia.
PURPOSE Accommodative effort during nearwork is thought to be a causative factor in the development of myopia. It has been proposed that an anomaly in autonomic control may be a precursor to the development of myopia. In the present study the closed-loop accommodation response after variations in fixation period was investigated in emmetropes, early-onset myopes and late-onset myopes to determi...
