Abstract

We measured apparent accommodation in 40 contact lens wearing monocular aphakic eyes (40 patients). The mean apparent accommodation was 1.74 +/- 0.73 diopters. The apparent accommodation was not influenced by the target size. There was no primary correlation between apparent accommodation and reciprocal of pupillary diameter, but significant difference between apparent accommodation of small pupil group(or=7.0mm). It suggests that apparent accommodation is influenced by the pupil size in aphakic eyes. Accommodation of phakic eyes was significantly greater than apparent accommodation of contralateral aphakic eyes in the group of age between 45 and 55.
