This document summarizes research on accommodation presented to the Ophthalmology Department at Al-Azhar University. It defines accommodation as the eye's ability to change refractive power and focus on objects at different distances by altering the shape of the lens. The document discusses the mechanism of accommodation, theories around how it functions including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, and types of accommodation like tonic, proximal, and reflex accommodation. It also examines anomalies of accommodation such as presbyopia, insufficiency of accommodation, and their treatment.
Retinoscopy is the primary objective method for determining a patient's refractive error. It involves using a retinoscope to illuminate the retina and observe the movement of the reflected light. For myopic patients, the light moves in the opposite direction of the retinoscope's movement, while for hyperopic patients it moves in the same direction. The goal is to find the neutralization point where no movement is seen, indicating the proper refractive correction. Factors like the working distance, type of mirror used, and patient's fixation can impact results. Retinoscopy is useful for initial refractive estimates and screening for ocular conditions.

It begins by explaining the principles of retinoscopy, including far point concept and how different ametropias affect the far point. It then describes the components and optics of the retinoscope, how it works, and retinoscopy techniques. Key aspects covered include neutralization, prerequisites for retinoscopy, and problems that can occur. Autorefractometry is also briefly discussed. In under 3 sentences:
Retinoscopy is the primary objective refraction technique discussed, which uses a retinoscope to illuminate the retina and observe the movement of the red reflex to determine the refractive error, neutralizing with trial lenses. The document covers the optics
This document discusses various methods for determining the near addition required for presbyopia correction, including dynamic retinoscopy, determining the tentative addition, and age-expected additions. It provides details on techniques like determining the near point of accommodation, using cross cylinders and near duochromes to refine the prescription, and calculating the near addition needed based on the reading distance and a patient's amplitude of accommodation while leaving some accommodation in reserve.
The document discusses rigid gas permeable contact lenses, including their benefits, applications, fitting process, and lens design considerations. Some key points covered include:
1. RGP lenses can automatically correct astigmatism, provide good vision and eye health benefits like increased oxygen transmission.
2. The fitting process involves evaluating the lens-cornea relationship using fluorescein dye to identify any bearing, clearance or sealing issues.
3. Important lens design factors are the overall diameter, optical zone size, base curve, thickness, and peripheral curve to achieve a proper alignment fit.
This document discusses low vision aids and their use for people with low vision. It defines low vision as visual acuity between 6/18 and 3/60 in the better eye after correction, or a field of vision between 20 to 30 degrees. Common causes of low vision include macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Optical low vision aids like magnifying spectacles, hand magnifiers, and telescopes use magnification to improve vision. Non-optical aids include increased lighting, contrast enhancement, and electronic magnifiers. Proper evaluation and prescribing of low vision aids depends on the patient's needs, vision status, and motivation. The goal is to prescribe simple, portable devices to help low vision
The document discusses the LEA symbol chart test, which is used to test visual acuity in children under 5 years old who cannot read letters. The test uses simple shapes like circles, squares, apples and houses that are easily recognized by children. It involves having the child match symbols of decreasing size on a chart to a key card. Some key points about administering the test include using a telescopic stick to point at symbols, ensuring the child understands the test, and checking for skipping between symbols which could indicate amblyopia. The test has advantages like being suitable for young children and amblyopic patients, but also disadvantages like being time consuming and not as accurate as letter-based acuity tests.

This document discusses the optics of contact lenses compared to spectacle lenses. It covers topics such as vertex distance, magnification, accommodation, and how contact lenses correct refractive errors like myopia and hyperopia. The key points are:
1) Contact lenses have a closer vertex distance than spectacles, which affects lens power and image size.
2) Contact lenses provide a clearer image with less magnification than spectacles for both myopes and hyperopes.
3) Accommodation requirements are less with contact lenses than spectacles, especially for hyperopes.
4) Contact lenses are generally better than spectacles for refractive errors while spectacles may be better for axial ametropias.
Optometrists play an important role in public health through patient care, observing broader health issues in their communities, educating patients and at-risk groups, specializing in relevant health areas, and identifying issues like high blood pressure, obesity, and smoking that can impact eye health. They are well-positioned to address public health problems across diverse populations and help prevent disease through education and referrals to other providers.
This document outlines the process for contact lens fitting, which includes patient screening, preliminary examinations and measurements, trial lens fitting, lens dispensing, and aftercare. The preliminary examinations involve assessing the anterior segment, measuring keratometry, corneal and pupil size, lid characteristics, and tear production. Trial lens fitting involves selecting lenses of varying parameters until an optimal fit is achieved based on criteria like centration and movement. After fitting is complete, patients are instructed on lens care and insertion/removal and scheduled for follow-up visits to monitor fit and address any issues.
This document discusses the AC/A ratio, which is the ratio of accommodative convergence to accommodation. It defines the AC/A ratio and notes the normal range is 3-5 prism diopters per diopter of accommodation. Abnormal AC/A ratios can cause strabismus. The document outlines methods to measure the AC/A ratio clinically and discusses its uses in diagnosing different types of strabismus and their management approaches.
Accommodation is the eye's ability to focus on near objects by increasing the lens power. It allows diverging rays from near objects to focus on the retina. Key aspects of accommodation include the near and far points of accommodation and the amplitude or range of accommodation which decreases with age causing presbyopia. Accommodation involves changes in lens curvature and thickness brought about by ciliary muscle contraction and zonule relaxation. Several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanism of accommodation. Anomalies of accommodation include diminished accommodation, presbyopia, paralysis and excess or spasm of accommodation.
The document summarizes several theories of accommodation, including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, Schachar's theory, and the catenary theory. It also discusses clinical assessment of accommodation and various anomalies such as insufficiency, excess, spasm, and infacility. Treatment options mentioned include spectacle correction, vision therapy exercises to stimulate or relax accommodation, and in rare cases, cycloplegic drugs.
Corneal degeneration refers to degenerative changes in the normal cells of the cornea under the influence of age or pathology. There are various types classified by location (axial or peripheral) or etiology (age-related or pathological). Common age-related degenerations include arcus senilis, Vogt's white limbal girdle, and Hassal-Henle bodies. Pathological degenerations comprise fatty degeneration, amyloidosis, calcific/band keratopathy, Salzmann's nodular degeneration, and pellucid marginal degeneration. Treatment options include phototherapeutic keratectomy, corneal transplantation, or superficial keratectomy depending on the type and severity of degeneration.
This document provides information about optical biometry and the IOL Master device. It discusses the principles and history of optical interferometry, intended uses of the IOL Master including axial length measurement, corneal curvature measurement, and IOL power calculation. Screen layouts and measurements taken by the IOL Master are described. Advantages include highly accurate and non-contact measurements, while limitations include inability to measure in cases of severe media opacities or poor patient cooperation.
The document discusses the slit-lamp biomicroscope, which is used to examine the eye. It has three main components: the mechanical system to position the patient and microscope, the illumination system to provide a focused beam of light, and the observation system consisting of compound microscopes. Different illumination techniques such as direct, indirect, and focal illumination are used to examine different parts of the eye at various magnifications. The slit-lamp allows close examination of structures like the cornea, anterior chamber, and lens.
Public health optometry combines principles of public health and optometry. It aims to provide eye care, promote eye health, and train community eye care workers by reaching out to communities. An optometrist applies these principles to address barriers preventing access to services. Public health optometry programs provide access to eye care while educating communities on conditions like cataract, refractive errors, and diabetic eye diseases. Outreach visits are planned to meet local needs, through screening and identifying issues and providing treatments like spectacles.
This document discusses schematic eyes and cardinal points. It provides an overview of different types of schematic eyes including paraxial and finite models. Paraxial eyes are simplified models useful for basic calculations while finite eyes are more accurate by including aspheric surfaces. The document also describes the six cardinal points - focal points, principal points, and nodal points - which define the optical properties and image formation of an eye. It explains how the locations of these points change under different conditions like aphakia. In summary, the document provides a comprehensive overview of schematic eye models and the important cardinal points used to analyze the optical performance of the eye.
Ophthalmic Prisms: Prismatic Effects and DecentrationRabindraAdhikary
Ophthalmic Prisms: Prismatic Effects and Decentration
here we discuss about the ophthalmic prisms, the prismatic effects as caused by the decentration( moving the optical center away from the visual axis)
Accommodation anomalies can occur due to various causes and present with different symptoms. Assessment involves dynamic retinoscopy and measuring accommodation amplitudes. Accommodative fatigue can result from overuse and be treated by correcting refractive errors and discussing visual hygiene. Presbyopia is age-related and treated with near vision correction. Other failures of accommodation include insufficiency, paralysis, spasm, and sustained accommodation, each with different etiologies, signs, and treatments.
1) There are a variety of low vision devices that provide magnification to help those with low vision see better for both near and distant tasks. These include spectacle-mounted reading lenses, hand magnifiers, stand magnifiers, and electronic devices like closed-circuit televisions.
2) Low vision devices work by using relative distance magnification, relative size magnification, or angular magnification to enlarge images on the retina. The amount of magnification provided depends on factors like the lens power and working distance.
3) Telescopes are used for distance vision and provide angular magnification to enlarge distant objects. Types include hand-held, bioptic, and telemicroscope models. Proper fitting is important to maximize remaining vision.
This document discusses three techniques for measuring a patient's horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID):
1. Using a corneal topographer and its biometric ruler to directly measure HVID.
2. Using a slit lamp with a reticle to obtain a direct measurement of HVID.
3. Using a loupe with an integrated measurement ruler to measure HVID while very close to the patient's eye.
The HVID is important to measure as it provides the corneal diameter, which aids in determining the total diameter of a contact lens. HVID typically ranges from 10-14mm with an average of 11.6-12.0mm.
Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing this distance changes the effective power of the lens. Vertex distance is important when converting between glasses and contact lens prescriptions, especially for prescriptions over +/- 4.00 diopters. The standard vertex distance is about 12mm, but individual frames may have different distances. The effective power of a lens varies with vertex distance, with plus lenses becoming stronger and minus lenses becoming weaker if the distance increases. Proper measurement of vertex distance is important for an accurate prescription.
Types of pediatric contact lens [autosaved]Bipin Koirala
This document discusses pediatric contact lens fitting and evaluation. It begins by outlining the advantages of contact lenses over glasses for children, including a wider field of view. Key considerations for fitting include small eye size, tear production, and compliance. Conditions that may require lenses include refractive errors, amblyopia treatment, and aphakia following cataract surgery. Evaluations include testing visual acuity and ocular health. Lens options discussed are silicone, hydrogel, and rigid gas permeable lenses. Special fitting considerations for aphakic children include initially high powers of +20D to +35D, depending on age.
Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses are rigid plastic lenses that transmit oxygen. They have inherent rigidity like PMMA but are semi-soft due to oxygen permeability. RGP lenses provide clearer vision than soft lenses, are more durable, and less expensive. However, they require an adaptation period and have a higher risk of dislodging than soft lenses. Key design features of RGP lenses include the back surface design, thickness, edge configuration, and diameter, which affect lens fit, movement, comfort, and vision. RGP lenses are used to correct astigmatism and presbyopia and for conditions like keratoconus.
This document provides an overview of modern options for correcting presbyopia. It discusses both static and dynamic correction techniques. Static techniques include glasses, contact lenses, corneal procedures like inlays/onlays, and intraocular lenses using monovision or being multifocal. Dynamic techniques aim to restore accommodation and include accommodating intraocular lenses, lens refilling procedures, and scleral expansion techniques. The document provides details on many of these specific procedures.
this PPT summarizes the echanism, theories, components of Accommodation as well as the physiological decline of it giving rise to Presbyopia. It aims to deliver the clinical features, developmental theories and evidence based trend of correcting Presbyopia.

This document discusses various theories and anomalies of accommodation. It begins by defining accommodation and related terms. It then discusses several theories of the accommodation mechanism, including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, Gullstrand's mechanical model, and Schachar's, Tsherning's, and Cotenary's theories. It also covers types of accommodation and anomalies such as presbyopia, insufficiency/ill-sustained accommodation, paralysis, excess accommodation, and spasm. Presbyopia is discussed in detail regarding pathophysiology, causes, symptoms, and treatment options like optical correction and surgery. Other anomalies are summarized briefly regarding their etiology, clinical features, and management.
(1) Accommodation is the mechanism by which the eye changes refractive power by altering the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances.
(2) Theories of accommodation include the relaxation theory of Helmholtz which proposes that contraction of the ciliary muscle relaxes the suspensory ligaments of the lens allowing it to take on a more spherical shape.
(3) Accommodative anomalies include decreased accommodation seen in presbyopia and other conditions, as well as increased accommodation seen in conditions like accommodative excess or spasm.
The document discusses accommodation and its anomalies. It begins by explaining how accommodation allows the eye to focus on near objects by increasing the curvature of the crystalline lens. It then discusses components of accommodation including reflex, vergence, proximal, and tonic accommodation. Various conditions that can affect accommodation are explained such as presbyopia, insufficiency of accommodation, paralysis of accommodation, spasm of accommodation, and inertia of accommodation. Treatment options for these conditions include lenses, vision therapy, exercises, and in some cases surgery.
Accommodation is the process by which the eye focuses on near objects. It occurs through changes in the shape and thickness of the elastic lens, induced by contraction of the ciliary muscle. The amplitude of accommodation is the difference between the near point and far point, measured in diopters. Accommodative ability peaks at around 10 years old and gradually declines with age. Presbyopia is the age-related loss of accommodation, causing difficulty with near vision. Other anomalies include insufficiency, spasm, paralysis and excessive accommodation, which can be caused by factors like refractive error, drugs, trauma or ocular disease. Assessment of accommodation involves measuring the near point, amplitude and facility of accommodation using tools like lenses, rulers and
This document provides an overview of optics and refraction for 5th year medical students. It defines key terms related to light, refraction, the eye, and refractive errors. It describes how the eye focuses light onto the retina using the cornea and lens. Refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism occur when light is not correctly focused on the retina. Methods for correcting refractive errors include glasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery procedures.
This document provides information about strabismus (squint) including its definition, causes, types, and methods of examination and treatment. It defines strabismus as an ocular deviation resulting from an extraocular muscle imbalance. The main causes discussed are optical obstacles like refractive errors, sensory obstacles like uniocular vision defects, and motor obstacles involving the muscles or nerves. The document describes examining a patient for squint including testing visual acuity, eye movements, the cover-uncover test, and assessing binocular vision. It also discusses heterophoria (latent squint), paralytic squint, and treatment approaches.
The document defines accommodation as the eye's ability to focus on near objects by changing the lens curvature. It describes how the ciliary muscle controls the lens shape by relaxing the zonules attached to the lens capsule. When relaxed, the elastic capsule makes the lens more convex to focus on nearby objects. The range and amplitude of accommodation are defined. Presbyopia and other accommodation anomalies like insufficiency, paralysis, and spasm are explained in terms of causes, symptoms, and treatments.
This document discusses accommodation and presbyopia. It defines accommodation as the ability of the eye to change focus from distant to near objects by changing the shape of the lens. Accommodation decreases with age in a process called presbyopia as the lens becomes less flexible. Presbyopia symptoms include difficulty seeing close objects clearly and can be treated with reading glasses, bifocal glasses, or multifocal contact lenses to restore near vision. The document also covers topics like ciliary muscle function, amplitude of accommodation measurement, and factors affecting presbyopia.
Reffraction myopia by Dr Abdul Basir safi eye surgeon from AfghanistanDr Abdul Basir Safi
This document discusses refractive errors and myopia. It begins by defining refractive media and refraction. It then discusses the different types of refractive errors including myopia. For myopia, it discusses the etiology, classification, clinical presentation, complications and management.

Ophthalmology Lectures: Presbyopia Management can be done through the cornea or the lens or sclera ..in part 1 we discuss lenticular part & types of MFIOL
Accommodation is the mechanism by which the eye changes refractive power to focus on objects at different distances. It involves changes in the shape of the elastic lens, controlled by the ciliary muscle. The amplitude of accommodation declines with age as the lens loses elasticity, causing presbyopia. Accommodation is measured using methods like push-up and minus lens, which determine the near and far points of clear vision. The range between these points indicates how much accommodation is available. Accommodation abilities normally decline with age according to established formulas.
1. Accommodation is the process by which the eye increases optical power to maintain clear focus on nearby objects. During accommodation, the ciliary muscles contract and relax zonular tension on the lens, allowing the lens to become more convex.
2. Presbyopia is the age-related loss of accommodation due to hardening of the lens and weakening of the ciliary muscles. It results in difficulty seeing objects close up and is treated with convex lenses.
3. Other abnormalities of accommodation include insufficiency, paralysis, and spasm. Insufficiency is reduced accommodation ability, paralysis is a sudden loss of accommodation ability, and spasm is excessive accommodation exertion causing induced myopia.

4. Accommodation
Definition : Accommodation is the mechanism by which the
eye changes refractive power by altering the shape of lens in
order to focus objects at variable distances.
The mechanism of eye accommodation is not the same for all
animals.
For example fish accommodates through the change of
position of the lens, some types of birds accommodate
through the increase of curvature of the cornea and
protraction of the human eye. As far as humans are
concerned accommodation is caused by the increased
curvature of anterior area of the eye lens while at the same
time its thickness also changes.
Accommodation is usually the same on both eyes.
5. Accommodation in
human
it Is caused by the increased
curvature of anterior area of
the eye lens
6. Theories of mechanism of accommodation
The exact mechanism of accommodation is not known but the
Principal fact is that ACCOMMODATION is a feature of increase
in the curvature of the lens which affects anterior surface
mainly.
Relaxation theory of HELMHOLTZ “Capsular
Theory”:
He considered that lens was elastic and in normal state it is
stretched and flattened by tension of the suspensory
ligaments.
During accommodation, contraction of ciliary muscle shortens
ciliary ring and moves towards the equator of the lens.
Relax the suspensory ligaments, relieving strain.
Lens assumes more spherical form, increasing thickness and
decreasing diameter.
8. SCHACHAR’S theory
Presbyopia is due to growth in equatorial diameter, leads to
decrease in peri lenticular space.
Contraction of ciliary muscle cannot tense zonules and
expand lens coronally.
SCHACHAR introduced use of scleral expansion bands (SEB).
9. TSHERNING’S theory
This theory attributed increased curvature of capsule to increasing
tension of the zonules.
It states that contraction of ciliary muscle pulls zonules directly and
increases tension of capsule at equator of lens, which leads to
bulging of poles.
COTENARY theory
COTENARY theory of accommodation was proposed by COLEMAN.
The COTENARY (hydraulic suspension) theory proposes that lens,
zonules & anterior vitreous comprise a diaphragm between
aqueous and vitreous.
As ciliary muscle contracts it forms a pressure gradient, causing
anterior movement of lens zonules diaphragm and increasing
anterior central curvature.
Presbyopia is due to increase in lens volume, results in reduced
response to pressure gradient created by ciliary body contraction.
10. Types of Accommodation
1) Tonic accommodation :It is due to tonus of ciliary muscle
and is active in absence of a stimulus. The resting state of
accommodation is not at infinity but rather at an intermediate
distance.
2) Proximal accommodation :Is induced by the
awareness of the nearness of a target. This is independent of the
actual dioptric stimulus.
3) Reflex accommodation :Is an automatic adjustment
response to blur which is made to maintain a clear and sharp
retinal image.
4) Convergence-accommodation :Amount of
accommodation stimulated or relaxed associated with
convergence. – The link between accommodation and
convergence is known as accommodative convergence and is
expressed clinically as AC/A ratio.
11. Assessment of accommodation
1. Dynamic retinoscopy.
2. Subjective measurement of accommodation amplitudes with
e.g., RAF rule.
3. Facility of accommodation with "lens flippers“.
retinoscopy lens flippers
12. Anomalies of Accommodation
1) Presbyopia.
2) Insufficiency of accommodation.
3) Ill-Sustained accommodation .
4) Inertia of accommodation.
5) Paralysis of accommodation .
6) Excessive accommodation .
7) Spasm of accommodation .
8) Accommodative esotropia
13. Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a condition of physiological insufficiency of
accommodation leading to a progressive fall in near
vision.
14. Pathophysiology:
In emmetropic eye far point is infinity and near point
varies with age (being about 7 cm at 10 years, 25 cm at 40
years and 33 cm at 45 years).
We read from 25 cm. After 40 years, the near point
recedes beyond normal reading or working range.
Failing near vision due to age-related decrease in
amplitude tion is called presbyopia
15.
16. Causes
Decrease in accommodative power of lens with increasing
age, leads to presbyopia, occurs due to:
1)Age-related changes in lens: Decrease in elasticity
of lens capsule, and Progressive, increase in size and
hardness (sclerosis) of lens substance which is not easily
moulded.
2)Age related decline in ciliary muscle power.
17. Premature presbyopia
Uncorrected hypermetropia.
Premature sclerosis of the crystalline lens.
General debility causing pre-senile weakness of ciliary
muscle.
Chronic simple glaucoma.
18. Symptoms
Difficulty in near vision.
Patients complaint of difficulty in reading small prints.
Asthenopic symptoms due to fatigue of the ciliary muscle
are also complained after reading or doing any near work.
19. Optical treatment
Prescription of appropriate convex glasses for near work.
A rough guide for providing presbyopic glasses in an
emmetrope can be made from patient’s age.
About +1 DS is required at the age of 40-45 years,
+1.5 DS at 45-50 years,
+ 2 DS at 50-55 years,
+2.5 DS at 55-60 years.
20. Basic principles of presbyopic
correction
Refractive error for distance is corrected first.
Correction needed in each eye should be tested
separately and add it to distant correction.
Near point should be fixed according to the profession of
patient.
Weakest convex lens with which one can see clearly at
near point should be prescribed, overcorrection will also
result in asthenopic symptoms.
Presbyopic spectacles may be unifocal, bifocal or varifocal
21. Surgical Treatment
1)Corneal procedures:
-Non ablative corneal procedure
-Monovision CK
-Laser based corneal procedure
-Laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK)
-Monovision LASIK.
-Presbyopic bifocal LASIK
-Presbyopic multifocal LASIK C
22. 2)Intraocular refractive procedure
-Refractive lens exchange
-Phakic refractive lens
-Monovision with IOLs
3)Scleral based procedures
-Anterior sclerotomy with tissue barriers
-Scleral spacing procedure
-Scleral ablation with erbium : yag laser
23. Insufficiency of
accommodation
Def: Condition in which accommodative power is
constantly less than lower limit of normal range according
to patient’s age.
Etiology :
1)Premature sclerosis of lens.
2)Weakness of ciliary muscle due to systemic causes:
Debilitating illness, anemia, toxemia, malnutrition, dia betes
mellitus, pregnancy, stress etc.
3)Weakness of ciliary muscle due to local causes: PAOG,
mild cyclitis as during onset of sympathetic ophthalmia.
24. Clinical features
1) Features of eye strain and asthenopia.
2) Head ach, fatigue & irritability of the eyes, while
attempting near work.
3) Near work is blurred & becomes difficult or impossible.
4) Disturbance of convergence : intermittent diplopia.
5) It is stable condition, if due to sclerosis of lens.
6) But is not stable in association with ciliary muscle
weakness.
25. Treatment
1) Identification & treatment of any systemic cause.
2) Any refractive error should be corrected & if vision for
near work is seriously blurred then additional near
correction has to be prescribed same as presbyopia.
3) If associated with convergence excess then full spherical
correction.
4) Convergence insufficiency is there, then base in prisms
can be added.
5) Prismatic correction added should bring near point of
convergence to same distance as near point of
accommodation.
26. 6) Weakest convex lenses should be prescribed, so as
to exercise and stimulate accommodation.
7) After recovery additional correction should be
made weaker and weaker from time to time.
8) Accommodative exercises.
– While do exercises patient should wear
correction for distance.
– Should be done simultaneously in both eyes,
even if associated with convergence insufficiency.
– But with convergence excess then the exercise
should done with one eye alternately.
– Accommodation test card exercise.
– Useless in generalized debility and sclerosis of
lens.
27. Ill-Sustained accommodation
Accommodation fatigue.
It is a situation in which though range of accommodation
is in normal range but it cannot sustain it for a sufficient
period of time.
Initial stage of insufficiency of accommodation.
It occurs due to:
– Stage of convalescence from debilitating illness
– Stage of generalized tiredness
– When the patient is relaxed in the bed
28. Clinical features
These symptoms are most commonly reported at the
end of the day:
1) Blurred vision after prolonged near work.
2)Headaches.
3)Eyestrain.
4)Fatigue, sleepiness and a loss of comprehension
with continued reading .
5)A dull 'pulling' sensation around the eye.
29. Treatment
Near work should be curtailed during debilitating illness.
General tonic measures should be taken.
The condition of illumination and posture while doing
near work, should be improved.
30. Inertia of accommodation
It is a condition in which patient faces difficulty in altering
the range of accommodation.
Amplitude of accommodation is normal.
Ability to make use of this amplitude quickly and for long
periods of time is inadequate
31. Clinical features
1) Difficulty changing focus from one distance to another.
2) Headaches.
3) Eyestrain.
4) Fatigue.
5) Difficulty sustaining near tasks.
6) Blurred vision.
Treatment: correcting any refractive error and
accommodative exercises.
32. Paralysis of accommodation
Cycloplegia, refers to complete absence of accommodation.
Causes:
1) Atropine, homatropine or other parasympatholytic drugs.
2) Internal ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of ciliary muscle and
sphincter pupillae)due to neuritis associated with diphtheria,
syphilis, diabetes, alcoholism, cerebral or meningeal diseases.
3) Complete third nerve paralysis due to intracranial or
orbital causes.
4) Systemic medications such as antihypertensive,
antidepressants.
33. Clinical features
1) Blurred vision at near.
2) Photophobia or a 'dazzling' effect.
3) Diplopia.
4) Micropsia: objects may appear smaller than they are
due to a false sense of distance.
5) Enlarged pupil.
34. Treatment
1) An effort should be made to find out the cause and try
to eliminate it.
2) Self-recovery occurs in drug-induced paralysis and in
diphtheric cases (once systemic disease is treated).
3) Dark-glasses effective in reducing glare.
4) Convex lenses for near vision, if the paralysis is
permanent.
35. Excessive accommodation
Accommodative response is greater than the
accommodative stimulus.
There is functional increase in tonus of ciliary muscle,
results in a constant accommodative effect.
36. Causes
1) Young hypermetropes frequently uses excessive
accommodation as a physiological adaptation.
2) Young myopes performing excessive near work,
associated with excessive convergence.
3) Astigmatic error in young patients.
4) Presbyopes in the beginning.
5) Use of improper and ill fitting spectacles.
37. Precipitating factors
Excessive near work done, especially in dim or excessive
illumination.
General debility, physical or mental ill health
38. Symptoms
1) Blurred vision at near is uncommon.
2) Blurred vision at distance.
3) Headaches.
4) Eyestrain.
5) Photophobia.
6) Difficulty changing focus from distance to near.
7) Diplopia
39. Treatment
It has a good prognosis.
Refractive error should be corrected after carefully
performed cycloplegic refraction.
Near work should be stopped for some time, after that it
should be done with proper illumination conditions
40. Spasm of accommodation
Def: Spasm of accommodation refers to exertion of
abnormally excessive accommodation.
Causes:
1) Drug induced spasm of accommodation is known to
occur after use of strong miotics.
2) Spontaneous spasm of accommodation: attempt to
compensate for a refractive anomaly.
3) Occurs when excessive near work is done with bad
illumination, bad reading position, state of neurosis,
mental stress or anxiety.
41. Clinical features
1) Defective vision: due to induced myopia.
2) Asthenopic symptoms.
3) Precipitating factors like marked degree of muscular
imbalance, trigeminal neuralgia, a dental lesion, general
intoxication
42. Treatment
Relaxation of ciliary muscle by atropine for 4 weeks or
more
Prohibition of near work allow prompt recovery from
spasm of accommodation.
Elimination of the associated causative factors to prevent
the recurrence
Anomalies of accommodation are very
common and management of these
anomalies is an integral part of
optometric practice
43. Accommodative esotropia
Accommodative esotropia is a condition where in excessive
effort of accommodation results in an inward deviation of the
eyes.
Most often it is caused by uncorrected Hypermetropia.
Acquired Esotropia in a visually immature child is a day time
emergency.
The consequences are loss of Binocular vision & onset of
amblyopia.
The interval between the time of onset & the treatment
determines the visual outcome.
Classification:
1)Refractive Accommodative. 2) Non- Refractive
Accommodative.
3)Partially Accommodative (Mixed).
44. Terms to remember
Range of Accommodation: The distance between the far point
and near point ie the distance over which accommodation is effective.
Amplitude of Accommodation: The difference between
dioptric power needed to focus at far point (at rest) and at near point (fully
accommodated).
Relative amplitude of accommodation: The total amount
of accommodation which the eye can exert while the convergence of the
eyes is fixed.It can be positive (using concave lenses until the image blurs).
This is called positive relative accommodation (PRA)..It can be negative
(using convex lenses until the image blurs). This is negative relative
accommodation (NRA)
Lead of Accommodation: The amount by which the
accommodative response of the eye is greater than the dioptric stimulus to
accommodation.
Lag of Accommodation: The amount by which the
accommodative response of the eye is less than the dioptric stimulus to
accommodation
