Objective Characteristics of Accommodation in Present-Day Schoolchildren with Different Levels of Myopia

Abstract

Purpose: We study the state of the accommodative function in present-day schoolchildren using the method of computer accomodography. Patients and methods: 74 children (10–16 years old), 54 of them with different degrees of myopia and 20 children (control group) with emmetropia were tested on the computer accomodography devise Righton Speedy-K ver. MF-1. The strength of the accommodative response accorded to the presented accommodative stimulus was determined by calculating the accommodative coefficient response (CAO) and the contraction’s nature of the ciliary body fibers by determining the microfluctuation coefficient (KMF).
