  • Near point of accommodation:
    The point nearest to the eye where a person uses maximum accommodation with the clear image of an object on the retina.
    Amplitude of accommodation :
    Is the maximum power of the crystalline lens to accommodate.
    How to calculate near point of accommodation :
    Requirements for the test.
    1. Two adjustable chairs.
    2. An occluder
    3. RAF rule
    4. Proper illuminated room
    5. A pen
    6. A paper for documentation
    Procedure :
    The cheek rest is softly put on the inferior orbital margin of the patient.
    The patient should put his spectacles on of he is already using glasses to carry out the rest.
    The standard target to rule out the near point of accommodation is "the top smallest line" of the N chart.
    For binocular test, the standard target of the N5 smallest line should be the word "THE" in center.
    For monocular right eye the standard target should be the word "EVERY" on the smallest N5 line.
    For monocular left eye the standard target should be the word "custom" on the smallest N5 line.
    Now push the target towards the patient's eye slowly and gradually 1 to 2 centimeter per second. And ask the patient to stop you when the target get blur and that blur point is break point.
    Now ask the patient to blink 2 to 3 times and then again see the target.. If it's blur again then move the target back until its clear again and that point is called recovery point.
    Repeat this target 3 times for monucular right and monucular left eye and 3 times for binocular eyes.
