Simultaneous Measurement of Objective and Subjective Accommodation in Response to Step Stimulation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate differences in objective and subjective accommodation dynamically and simultaneously.

Methods

Thirty-four pre-presbyopic healthy volunteers (mean age ± SD, 41.0 ± 3.2 years) participated in this study. Initially, the reaction time for detecting a change in the target was measured at near. Dynamic accommodation was then monocularly recorded using an open-view Shack-Hartmann aberrometer and compared with the amplitude and velocity of subjective accommodation.

Results

The objective amplitude of accommodation (0.97 ± 0.32 diopter [D]) was significantly greater than the subjective amplitude of accommodation (0.62 ± 0.43 D; P < 0.001). The accommodative velocity was significantly faster for the "before the accommodation" response time (0
