Experiments measure age influence on accommodation and vergence responses, suggesting altered dynamics with age.
Experiments are described in which static and dynamic accommodation (Ar), accommodative convergence (AC), vergence (C) and convergence accommodation (CA) responses to small stimuli were measured dynamically in 13 subjects with ages in the range 16 to 48 years. Analysis showed that the amplitudes of both blur and disparity‐driven accommodation declined significantly with age, whereas the two types of vergence response did not. As a result, the AC/Ar ratio rose significantly with age, whereas the CA/C ratio fell. No significant change with age was found in response latencies and durations.
