Talk:Amplitude of accommodation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i think there is something wrong in the article. The Amplitude of Accommodation, also known as the accommodative response, is the maximum increase in diopter power obtainable by an eye.

Yes, I agree the current definition is somewhat misleading. The Amplitude of Accommodation is the range between a fully relaxed eye (longest focus) and a maximally "focused" eye (shortest focus), in diopters. A person may have sufficient accomodation, and still have trouble with near distance (Theoretically the lens could be focused "beyond infinity", due to some rare, extreme farsighted condition that doesn't impact accomodation.)
