摘要
Previously we reported that recently myopic children accommodated insufficiently to blur induced by negative lenses. The purpose of the present study was to relate changes in blur-driven accommodation to myopia development in children. Refractive errors and the accommodation response function (ARF) were measured in 23 myopic and 40 emmetropic children on two occasions separated by periods ranging from 6 to 12 months. Repeated measures of accommodation were made with a Canon R-1 autorefractor while negative lenses of increasing power were placed in front of the child's right eye viewing 20/100 letters at 4 m. Concomitant changes in refractive error and in accommodative function over periods of 6-12 months were found to be highly correlated in myopes (r=0.77) but pot in emmetropes (r=0.09).
