Age Amplitude of Accommodation
5 16.00 diopters
10 14.00 diopters
15 12.00 diopters
20 10.00 diopters
25 8.50 diopters
30 7.00 diopters
35 5.50 diopters
40 4.50 diopters
45 3.50 diopters
50 2.50 diopters
55 1.75 diopters
60 1.00 diopter
65 0.50 diopter
70 0.25 diopter
75 0.12 diopter
I am almost 25 yet I have only 2.5 diopters of accomodation! This would
mean I have 5.5 diopters of pseudomyopia, making me a mild latent
hyperope! Of course I doubt I have anywhere near this much
pseudomyopia. Myopia is in our family genes and if pseudomyopia were
suspect, my mom wouldnt be a -8. Could even a small amount of
pseudomyopia cause accomodative dysfunction due to cilinical muscle
spasms?
I remember I got my first -1 glasses when I was 12, it kept getting
worse till im now a -5! I suspect I have an easy one diopter
pseudomyopia and wouldnt be supprised if its considerabily more. When I
wear strong glasses(my full pescription) things become more blurry when
I take them off or go to weaker glasses. After a few hours things clear
a little.
My parents and optometrist dont believe in eye exercises, but its been
working for me. I have achieved at least a half diopter improvement
since I started several months ago. I may have a long way yet to go. I
was just thinking something disturbing: what if someone gets lasik and
he has any pseudomyopia and ends up plano? He will be a hyperope as he
gets older and presbyopia sets in! I sure hope they give everyone
cycoplegic refractions before refractive surgury!
