Abstract

PURPOSE. Uncorrected hyperopic children must overcome an apparent conflict between accommodation and vergence demands to focus and align their retinal images. This study tested hypotheses about simultaneous accommodation and vergence performance of young hyperopes to gain insight into ocular motor strategies used to maintain eye alignment. METHODS. Simultaneous eccentric photorefraction and Purkinje image tracking were used to assess accommodative and vergence responses of 26 adult emmetropes (AE) and 94 children (0-13 years) viewing cartoons. Children were habitually uncorrected (CU) (spherical equivalent refractive error [SE] -0.5 to +4 D), corrected and aligned (CCA), or corrected with a history of refractive esotropia (CCS). Accommodative and vergence accuracy, dissociated heterophoria, and vergence/accommodation ratios in the absence of retinal disparity cues were measured for 33- and 80-cm viewing distances. RESULTS. In binocular viewing, median accommodative lags for 33 cm were 1.0 D (AE), 1.33 D (CU), 1.25 D (CCA), and 1.0 D (CCS). Median exophorias at 80 and 33 cm were 1.2 and 4.5 pd (AE), 0.8 and 2.5 pd (CU), and 0 and 1.2 pd (CCA), respectively. Without disparity cues, most response vergence/accommodation ratios were between 1 and 2 meter angle/D (similar to 5-10 pd/D) (69% of AE, 44% of CU, 60% of CCA, and 50% of CCS). CONCLUSIONS. Despite apparent conflict in motor coupling, uncorrected hyperopes were typically exophoric and achieved adultlike accuracy of both vergence and accommodation simultaneously, indicating ability to compensate for conflicting demands rather than bias to accurate vergence while tolerating inaccurate accommodation. Large lags and esophoria are therefore atypical. This analysis provides normative guidelines for clinicians and a deeper mechanistic understanding of how hyperopes avoid strabismus.
