| Research Abstract |
It is said that one of the factors which induced a loss of distance vision and progress of myopia is accommodative insufficiency or contraction following a sustained nearwork. This study was to investigate whether a new visual intervention with optical and binocular vergence demands prevents accommodative insufficiency and myopic shift without medication. The obtained results suggest that the new intervention device is effective for the treatment of accommodative insufficiency that follows sustained periods of nearwork, and consequently, the loss of distance vision and myopic shift induced by accommodative insufficiency may decrease.
