Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was any difference between myopes and emmetropes in using blur as a stimulus for accommodation when the chromatic aberration, size and proximal cues were eliminated. Twenty adults (10 myopes and 10 emmetropes) were examined for their accuracy of accommodation response for five different accommodation demands (OD, 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D) under two different light sources: achromatized white light versus monochromatic light. There was no significant difference in using blur stimulus between myopes and emmetropes when the chromatic aberration, size and proximal cues were eliminated.
