| Abstract: | Background: It is not known how accommodative insufficiency influences reading performance. Methods: Reading eye movements were recorded before and after treatment for accommodative insufficiency in 12 school children (eight to 16 years). During the eight‐week treatment period all subjects wore a +1.00 D addition when reading. Results: Large variations in reading patterns were found. Despite successful accommodative treatment (p < 0.001), no correlation was found to suggest improved reading velocity. Discussion: Three case reports will be presented and the implications discussed. |
