Are high lags of accommodation in myopic children due to motor deficits?
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Children with a progressing myopia exhibit an abnormal pattern of high accommodative lags coupled with high accommodative convergence (AC/A) and high accommodative adaptation. This is not predicted by the current models ... -
Binocular Adaptation to +2 D Lenses in Myopic and Emmetropic Children:
(Wolters Kluwer, 2009-06)Purpose. To compare vergence adaptation to +2 D addition lenses in myopic and emmetropic children and to evaluate the influence of the accommodative-vergence crosslink (AC/A ratio) on this adaptation. Methods. Nine ... -
Can current models of accommodation and vergence predict accommodative behavior in myopic children?
(Elsevier, 2014-08)Investigations into the progression of myopia in children have long considered the role of accommodation as a cause and solution. Myopic children show high levels of accommodative adaptation, coupled with accommodative lag ... -
Effect of heterophoria type and myopia on accommodative and vergence responses during sustained near activity in children
(Elsevier, 2012-03-15)The influence of phoria-type and myopia on changes to vergence and accommodation during prolonged near-task was examined in 53 children. Participants were classified into phoria and refractive categories based on near ... -
Effect of near adds on the variability of accommodative response in myopic children
(Wiley, 2011-03)Purpose: Higher variability of accommodative response (VAR) has been reported in myopes and speculated to be a possible risk factor for the progression of myopia. We investigated whether near adds of +2D and −2D were capable ... -
Near addition lenses as a tool to investigate vergence adaptation in myopic children
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-12)Accommodation and vergence are two interacting ocular motor systems that function to maintain clear and single vision across a wide range of distances. Sustained fixation results in the adaptation of these ocular motor ... -
Understanding the sensory and motor behavior of accommodation in progressive myopic children
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Introduction: Accommodation and vergence, in unison, help in maintaining a clear and single binocular vision, a linchpin for normal vision development. Under natural viewing conditions, accommodation and vergence systems ...
