Asthenopia associated with near task is its main symptom
Acc insu
Characterized by an inadequate accommodative ability than expected for age
Acc insu
Not a result of crystalline lens problems
Acc insu
AOA is significantly lower than the lower
limit of expected for age using Hofstetter’s
formula
Acc insu
These patients will usually exhibit a
reduction in the accommodative amplitude
by 2D or more
Acc insu
They also show a reduced positive relative
accommodation (PRA)
Acc insu
● Difficulty with minus lens of accommodative facility
Acc insu
An increased lag of accommodation
Acc insu
This is a sub classification of accommodative insufficiency
Ill su acc
● It is considered as the first stage of accommodative insufficiency
Ill sus acc
It is also known as accommodative fatigue
Ill sus acc
Patient has sufficient amount of
accommodation as confirmed by results of
AOA
Ill sus acc
Repeated accommodative stimulation
causes fatigue therefore it cannot maintain its accommodative response
Ill sus acc
Patients with this disorder initially report the ability to do near work and experience discomforts after some time
Ill sus acc
Patients with this disorder initially report the ability to do near work and experience discomforts after some time
Ill sus acc
● The accommodative system loses power and near point recedes causing blur near vision;
normal amplitudes of accommodation begin to deteriorate over time
Ill sus acc
It has been categorized as a sub classification of accommodative insufficiency
Ill sus
Para acc
It is a sudden onset insufficiencies in accommodation caused by either organic disorders in the nervous system or toxins
Pra acc
This is the failure of the accommodative apparatus to respond to stimulus
Pra acc
It may be sudden or insidious
Para acc
It can be unilateral or bilateral
● It is most often unilateral with extra ocular
muscles and pupillary involvement either fixed or dilated caused by the following
○ careless use of cycloplegic drugs
○ toxicity
○ accidents
○ congenital defects
○ diseases of the system
