Introduction: To compare various accommodative parameters in prepresbyopic diabetic patients with age-matched healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: Study population consisted of 32 younger-onset diabetic patients (30-40 years of age) and 28 age-matched healthy normal individuals. Using the best correction for distance visual acuity (20.20 by Snellen chart), multiple accommodative ability ...

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 righ...

METHOD: Prospective, non-comparative study of 18 patients (36 eyes) in whom a Synchrony® dual-optic lens was implanted bilaterally following cataract surgery. All patients were studied preoperatively, and 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The following measurements were taken: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for distance, intermediate and near vision, a...

Accommodative dysfunction is a common oculomotor sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This study evaluated a range of dynamic (objective) and static (subjective) measures of accommodation in 12 nonstrabismic individuals with mTBI and near vision-related symptoms before and after oculomotor training (OMT) and placebo (P) training (6 wk, two sessions per week, 3 h of training each). Fo...

On examination, her uncorrected near visual acuity was J1+ and her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 at distance and J1+ at near. Her glasses measured −4.50 +0.50 × 98 in the right eye and −4.75 D in the left eye. Ocular motility was full, and the pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. Her pupils measured 5 mm to 3 mm with direct pupillary light reflex and 5 mm ...

1. introduction the earthquake is a disaster which always threatens our country due to specific geographical conditions. according to official statistics, in the past 25 years, 6% of country’s casualties had been due to the earthquake. on average every ten years an earthquake of magnitude 7 on the richter scale occurs in the country (givechi and coworkers 2013:102). temporary accommodation is a...

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a combined visual efficiency and perceptual-motor training programme on the handwriting performance of Chinese children aged 6 to 9 years with handwriting difficulties (HWD). Methods: Twenty-six children with HWD were assigned randomly and equally into two groups. The training programme was provided over eight consecutive we...
