Disorders of accommodation - what does this mean
Disorders of accommodation occur when the eye is unable to focus on objects at different distances, causing blurred vision. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, including age-related changes, trauma, or an underlying eye disease.
What happens during the disease - disorders of accommodation
Disorders of accommodation are caused by a breakdown in the ability of the eye's ciliary muscle to relax and contract in response to changes in focus. this can be due to a variety of causes, including age-related changes, trauma, inflammation, or changes in the shape of the lens. when the ciliary muscle fails to relax, the lens cannot flatten enough to allow the eye to focus on close objects, resulting in blurred vision.
