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.

The human eye is one of the most valuable and sensitive sense organs in the human body. It enables us to see the wonderful world and colours around us.
Structure of eye:
The human eye has the following main parts:
Cornea: It is the transparent spherical membrane covering the front of the eye. Light enters the eye through this membrane.
Crystalline lens: The eyes lens is a convex lens made of a transparent, soft and flexible material like a jelly made of proteins.
Iris: It is a dark muscular diaphragm between the cornea and the lens. It controls the size of the pupil. It is the colour of the iris that we call as the colour of the eye.
Pupil: It is a small hole between the iris through which light enters the eye. In dim light, it opens up completely due to expansion of iris muscles, but in bright light it becomes very small due to contraction of iris muscles.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
2. INTRODUCTION
As we know in an emmetropic eye, parallel rays of light coming from the
infinity are brought to focus on the retina, with accommodation being at
rest.
However our eyes have been provided by a unique mechanism by which
we can even focus the diverging rays coming from a near object on the
retina in a bid to see clearly.
This mechanism is called accommodation.
3. Components of near reflex are:
1. Accomodation, i.e., increase in curvature of anterior surface of the
crystalline lens, leading to increase in focusing power of the lens.
At rest, the radius of curvature of anterior surface if the lens is 10 mm and
that of the posterior surface is 6 mm.
During accommodation the curvature of the porsterior surface remains the
same but that of anterior surface changes.
In strong accommodation, curvature of anterior surface also becomes
6mm.
4. 2. Constriction of pupil: leading to sharp focus. It occurs due to reflex
contraction of sphincter pupillae muscle.
3. Convergence of eyeball: leading to focusing of both eyes on the near
object. It occurs due to contraction of the medial rectus.
5. MECHANISM OF ACCOMODATION
According to Von Helmholtz’s capsular theory the process of accommodation
is achieved by a change in the shape of lens.
When eye is at rest (unaccommodated), the ciliary ring is large and keeps the
zonules tense. Because of zonular tension the lens is kept compressed (flat) by
the capsule.
Contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the ciliary ring to shorten and thus
releases zonular tension on the lens capsule.
This allows the elastic capsule to act unrestrained to deform the lens
substance.
The lens then alters its shape to become more convex or conoidal (to be more
precise).
The lens assumes conoidal shape due to configuration of the anterior lens
capsule which is thinner at the centre and thicker at the periphery.
6.
7. OCULAR CHANGES IN
ACCOMODATION
Slackening of zonules- due to contraction of ciliary muscles
Changes in curvature of lens:
Almost no change in posterior surface (6mm)
Anterior surface radius of curvature ( decreases from 11 mm to 6 mm)
8.
9. Anterior pole along with iris moves forward
Shallowing of anterior chamber in centre
Pupillary constriction and convergence of eyes
Near triad
Choroid moves forward
Orra serrata moves by 0.05mm forward with each diopter of
accommodation

11.
12. What triggers accommodation??
Image blur
Apparent size and distance of object
Disparate retinal images
Contrast
Luminance
Chromatic abberation
14. REFLEX ACCOMODATION
The normal involuntary response to blur which maintains a clear image
Largest and most important component
Automatic adjustment of refractive state to obtain clear retinal image
Occurs for small amount of blur, upto 2.00D, beyond which voluntary effort
is required.
Voluntary Accommodation
16. Proximal Accommodation
Due to influence or knowledge of apparent nearness of object
Stimulated by targets located within 3m of the individual
Tertiary component of accommodation
17. Tonic Accommodation
Revealed in absence of blur, disparity and proximal inputs as well as any
voluntary or learned unusual aspects
Reflects baseline neural innervation from the midbrain.
In young adults, ranges from 0 to 2 D
18. Measurement of Accommodation
A full clinical examination includes assessment of accommodative function
in five parameters
Amplitude of accommodation
Lag of accommodation
Accommodative facility
Relative accommodation
Accommodation fatigue
19. FAR POINT AND NEAR POINT
The nearest point at which small objects can be seen clearly is called near
point or punctum proximum.
The distant(farthest) point is called far point or punctum remotum.
Far point and near point of the eye:
These vary with the static refraction of the eye as shown below:
In an emmetropic eye far point is infinity and near point varies with age.
In hypermetropic eye far point is virtual and lies behind the eye.
In myopic eye, it is real and lies in front of the eye.
20. RANGE AND AMPLITUDE OF
ACCOMODATION
Range of accommodation: The distance between the near point and the far
point is called the range of accommodation:
Amplitude of accommodation: the difference between the dioptric power
needed to focus at near point(P) and far point (R) is called amplitude of
accommodation (A). Thus A=P-R
Amplitude of accommodation and thus the near point of vision(punctum
proximum) vary with age.
23. Measurement of Amplitude of
Accommodation
Push up method
To determine maximum amount of accommodation that eyes are capable
of producing individually or together
Done by RAF rule, Livingstone Binocular Gauge, Prince Rule
24.
25. Procedure
Near visual acuity chart placed on near point rod
Direct patient’s attention to 20/20 line of letters on near point card
Patient eye occluded
26. Near point card brought closer to patient (2-3 inches per second)
Patient instructed to keep the letters as clear as possible and report when
it blurs
Prompt the patient to clear the target
27. Stop when patient can no longer clear the print within 2 to 3 seconds of
viewing
Record the dioptric points on the near point rod that corresponds with the
blur
Procedure repeated for left eye
28. FORMULA to determine Amplitude of
Accommodation
Hofstetter formulae for expected amplitude as a function of age (using the
data of Donders, Daune and Kaufman)
Maximum amplitude= 25- 0.4 x age
Probable amplitude= 18.5-0.3 x age
Minimum amplitude= 15-0.25 x age
29. Example:
For 20 yrs old patient
Minimum AA is given by: 15-0.25 x 20= 10 DS
NPA= 1/10=0.1 m= 10 cm
30.
31.
32. Amplitude of Accommodation and
Age
Rule of 4 A’s
Amplitude= 4 x 4- (Age/4)
Example:
Age of 20,
Amplitude = 16- 20/4 = 11 diopters
33.
34. General Symptoms
Intermittently blurred vision
Eyestrain and/or headache with visual tasks
Fatigue/sleepiness with visual tasks
Inattentiveness over time
35. PRESBYOPIA
Is not an error of refraction but a condition of physiological insufficiency of
accommodation leading to a progressive fall in near vision
36. pathophysiology
As we know in an emmetropic eye far point is infinity and near point varies
with age (being about 7 cm at age of 10 years, 25 cm at the age of 40
years and 33 cm at the age of 45 years).
Therefore at the age of 10 years, amplitude of accommodation(A)=
100/7(diopteric power needed to see clearly at any point)-
1/infinity(diopteric power needed to see clearly at far point)= 14 diopters
Similaryly at age 40=100/25-1/infinity= 4 diopters
Since we usually keep the book at about 25 cm, so we can read
comfortably up to the age of 40 years.
37. Causes: decrease in the accommodative power of crystalline lens with increasing age,
leading to presbyopia, occurs due to:
1. Age related changes in the lens which include:
Decrease in elasticity of lens capsule
Progressive increase in size and hardness of lens substance which is less easily moulded.
2. Age related decline in ciliary muscle power may also contribute in causation of
presbyopia.
Causes of premature presbyopia are:
Uncorrected hypermetropia
Premature sclerosis of the crystalline lens
General debility causing presenile weakness of ciliary muscle
Chronic simple glaucoma
38. symptoms
Difficulty in near vision
Asthenopic symptoms : due to fatigue of ciliary muscle
Intermittent diplopia
39. TREATMENT
Optical treatment: convex glass for near work
Surgical treatment:
1. Cornea based procedures: monovision conductive keratoplasty (CK)
2. Monovision LASIK
3. Presbyopic bifocal LASIK AND LASIK-PARM( LASIK by Presbyopia Avalos
Rozakis Method)
4. Presbyopic multifocal LASIK
5. Presbyond laser blended vision
6. Corneal inlays for presbyopia
40. Lens based procedures:
1. Trifocal IOL
2. Monovision with intraocular lenses
Sclera based procedures:
1. Anterior ciliary sclerotomy
2. Scleral spacing procedures and scleral ablation
3. Scleral expansion
41. INSUFFICIENCY OF ACCOMMODATION
When Accommodative power is significantly less than the normal
physiological limits.
Therefore it should not be confused with presbyopia in which the
physiological insufficiency of accommodation is normal for the patient’s
age.
So it can be labelled as pathological insufficiency of accommodation.
42. Causes:
1. Premature sclerosis of lens
2. Weakness of ciliary muscle due to systemic causes of muscle fatigue such
as debiliating illness, anemia, toxaemia, malnutrition, diabetes mellitus,
pregnancy, stress and so on
3. Weakness of ciliary muscle associated with primary open angle glaucoma
4. Cyclitis
43.
44. TREATMENT
Near vision spectacles in the form of weakest convex lens which allows
adequate vision should be given till the power of accommodation
improves
If there is associated convergence insufficiency base out prism may be
added to patient comfort
Accommodation exercises help in recovery, if underlying debility has
passed.
45. Vision therapy: to stimulate accommodation monocularly
Small print targets that are slowly moved closer to the ye
Reading print through minus lenses (gradually increasing the power) using
“monocular minus lens rock”
Monocular lens flippers
Monocular minus lens clear/blur/clear (for fine voluntary control)
Binocular lens flippers
46. PARALYSIS OF ACCOMODATION
Also known as cycloplegia refers to complete absence of accommodation
Causes:
1. Drug induced cycloplegia
2. Paralytic internal ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of ciliary muscle and
sphincter pupillae)- seen in neuritis associated with diphtheria, syphilis,
diabetes, alcoholism, cerebral or meningeal diseases.
3. Paralysis of accommodation as a component of complete third nerve
paralysis may occur due to intracranial or orbital causes.
47. Clinical features
Blurring of vision
Photophobia
Abnormal receding of near point and markedly decreased range of
accommodation
48. Treatment
Self recovery occurs in drug induced cycloplegia and in diphtheria cases
Dark glasses
Convex lenses for near vision
49. Spasm of Accommodation
Exertion of abnormally excessive accommodation
Also known as cyclotonia
50. causes
Drug induced spasm of accommodation after use of strong miotics such as
echothiophate and DFP(Diisopropylflourophosphate)
Spontaneous spasm of accommodation- in children who attempt to
compensate for a refractive anomaly that impairs their vision (when eyes
are used for excessive near work in bad illumination, bad reading position,
lowered vitality, state of neurosis, mental stress or anxiety)
53. Treatment
Relaxation of ciliary muscle by atropine for few weeks and prohibition of
near work
Correction of associated causative factors
Assurance and psychotherapy
54. ILL SUSTAINED ACCOMODATION
Initial stage of true insufficiency
Range is normal
During prolonged near work, accommodative power weakens, the near
point gradually recedes and vision becomes blurred
55. INERTIA OF ACCOMODATION
Rare condition
Difficulty in altering the range of accommodation
Requires time and effort to focus a near object after looking into distance
Treatment:
Correction of refractive error
Accommodative Exercises
56. Accomodation Excess : TREATMENT
Prescribing lenses
Distance lens prescription
Added plus lenses are not usually accepted for near work
Vision therapy: to relax accommodation monocularly
Small print targets slowly moved AWAY from the eye
Reading print through PLUS lenses (gradually increasing the power)
