Simulating the Mechanics of Lens Accommodation via a Manual Lens Stretcher
Published on: February 23, 2018
Abstract:
Accommodation is the natural increase or decrease of the refraction of the eye lens as a function of the fixation distance. It relies on the proper elasticity of the natural eye lens. The evaluation of accommodation and the coupled convergent eye movements enables us to make the diagnosis of certain eye-related conditions and allows the differential diagnostic from some of the "neuroophthalmic diseases". This may avoid some unnecessary diagnostic procedures and reduce patient anxiety in terms of having a health threatening disease.
