title: Cortical indices of impaired ocular accommodation and associated convergence mechanisms.
abstract: The accommodative and fusional vergence mechanisms were examined electrophysiologically in a juvenile suffering from a severe reduction in focusing ability. We used the visually evoked response (VER) to diagnose the accommodation-vergence insufficiency. The procedure is shown to be effective for monitoring longitudinally the ability of simple orthoptic techniques to restore normal accommodative function.
