Overview

Observational study examines accommodative responses in myopes, suggesting no direct link to myopia development.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine if increased lag of accommodation is associated with developing myopia.
  • Monitored refractive error and accommodative responsivity over 1 year
  • Measured accommodation at various stimulus levels (2.5, 3, 4, and 5 D)
  • Computed slope of stimulus-response function and accommodative error
  • Most subjects showed accommodative gradients near unity
  • Lower gradients were noted in subjects who were myopic at the start
  • Stable myopes exhibited the largest lag of accommodation
  • Findings do not support reduced accommodative response linked to myopia development
