Abstract
Subjective testing of accommodative facility can be difficult with young or nonverbal children, and children with learning problems. A new technique to objectively assess accommodative facility using monocular estimation method (MEM) retinoscopy is described. The objective technique was compared to a subjective assessment of accommodative facility, and the techniques were in agreement 86% of the time. Possible clinical usefulness of the objective procedure is discussed.
