The Relation between Night Myopia and Accommodative Convergence | Synapse

The Relation between Night Myopia and Accommodative Convergence

Key Points

To explore the relationship between accommodation and convergence in cases of night myopia.
Examined the relationship between accommodation and convergence in night myopia.
Analyzed changes in lens convexity as a potential factor.
Assessed variability in the convergence mechanism among subjects.
Found no consistent change in convergence linked to night myopia.
Determined that accommodation changes did not correlate with convergence adjustments.
Indicated significant variability in the convergence mechanisms involved.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Accommodation and convergence normally bear a tight relation to each other. To the extent that night myopia is due to an actual change in lens convexity, accommodation in night myopia should be accompanied by a commensurate change in convergence. This prediction was shown to be false because of variability in the convergence mechanism.
