title: Accommodation: mechanism and measurement.
abstract: A clear understanding of the anatomy of accommodative structures, the mechanism of accommodation, and the causes of presbyopia is necessary to understand whether accommodation may be restored to the presbyopic eye. Not withstanding the significant challenges that are faced owing to age-related changes in the eye, theoretically, it may be possible to restore accommodation to a presbyopic eye with an artificial accommodative intraocular lens.
