To evaluate the relationship between amplitude of accommodation and refractive errors in the peri-presbyopic age group.
Three hundred and sixteen right eyes of 316 consecutive patients in the age group 35-50 years who attended our outpatient clinic were studied. Emmetropes, hypermetropes and myopes with best-corrected visual acuity of 6/6 J1 in both eyes were included. The amplitude of accommodation (AA) was calculated by measuring the near point of accommodation (NPA). In patients with more than +/- 2 diopter sphere correction for distance, the NPA was also measured using appropriate soft contact lenses.
There was a statistically significant difference in AA between myopes and hypermetropes (P < 0.005) and between myopes and emmetropes (P < 0.005) in the 35-39 year age group. In the 40-44 year age group, there was a significant difference in AA between emmetropes and hypermetropes (P < 0.0001), emmetropes and myopes (P < 0.01) and hypermetropes and myopes (P < 0.0001). In patients above 45 years of age there was no significant difference (P > 0.5).
Our study showed higher amplitude of accommodation among myopes between 35 and 44 years compared to emmetropes and hypermetropes.
评估准老视年龄组的调节幅度与屈光不正之间的关系。
对连续316例年龄在35 - 50岁、前来我院门诊就诊患者的316只右眼进行研究。纳入双眼最佳矫正视力为6/6 J1的正视眼、远视眼和近视眼患者。通过测量调节近点(NPA)来计算调节幅度(AA)。对于球镜矫正度数超过±2屈光度的患者,也使用合适的软性接触镜测量NPA。
在35 - 39岁年龄组中,近视眼与远视眼之间(P < 0.005)以及近视眼与正视眼之间(P < 0.005)的AA存在统计学显著差异。在40 - 44岁年龄组中,正视眼与远视眼之间(P < 0.0001)、正视眼与近视眼之间(P < 0.01)以及远视眼与近视眼之间(P < 0.0001)的AA存在显著差异。在45岁以上患者中,差异无统计学意义(P > 0.5)。
我们的研究表明,在35至44岁之间,近视眼的调节幅度高于正视眼和远视眼。
