What is it?
Disorders of accommodation are problems focusing on an objective, especially a close one. It could be difficult to maintain an efficient focus at near, or difficulty to switch focuses between near and far. Accommodative spasm means that the eye muscle that is involved in focusing the eye does not fully relax which causes blurry vision from far and near. These problems affect the person’s ability to read and perform tasks from close distances. It could be congenital or as a result of head trauma.
