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 ...
