title: Clinical objective assessment of the accommodative response.
abstract: Objective assessments are often needed in a visual examination, and are often more reliable, and therefore helpful, in the decision-making process of patient care. One visual function that is generally evaluated subjectively is accommodation. In those patients that cannot respond properly, an objective assessment is needed. This paper discusses a procedure for the objective assessment of the amplitude of accommodation, the status of the accommodative response of each eye, and the facility of accommodation.
