Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the parameters of accommodation and myopia progression rate depending on the objective accommodation response (OAR) in 130 patients (260 eyes) at the age from 6 to 23 (mean 11.26+-0.2) years presenting with myopia of different severity. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group was comprised of 40 patients (80 eyes) having the objective accommodation response of less than -1.5 diopters. The second group consisted of 63 patients (126 eyes) with the objective accommodation response varying from 1.5 to -2.5 diopters. The third group contained 27 patients (54 eyes) having the objective accommodation response above -2.0 diopters. The patients with the objective accommodation response close to the normal value (>2.0 D) experienced the lowest annual myopia progression gradient during the treatment (0.5D per year retrospectively and 0.17 diopters prospectively) in comparison with the patients of groups 2 and 3 (p <0.05). These findings suggest the relationship between the objective accommodation response and progression of myopia. The results of this study give evidence of the prognostic value of the objective accommodation response and the myopia progression rate and suggest the possibility of using this parameter for the characteristic of the clinical course of myopia. Moreover, the correlation between the objective accommodation response and subjective parameters of myopia (reserves and amplitude) was documented
