Automated training reduces asthenopia and improves vision in patients with accommodative deficiencies, implying effective treatment options.
Five patients reporting asthenopia secondary to accommodative deficiencies underwent automated accommodative facility training. A matched‐subjects, crossover design was used to control for placebo effects. All patients receiving automated accommodative training showed a marked increase in accommodative amplitude along with a concurrent reduction of asthenopia. Decreases of blur and increases of reading time were the most frequently reported changes by patients. This experiment shows the effectiveness of automated accommodative training in reducing asthenopia and improving accommodative facility.
