AMPLITUDE OF ACCOMMODATION: POPULATION AND METHODOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES

A literature survey of amplitudes of accommodation in various countries is presented. Results of push‐up and minus‐lens determination of 447 patients in Nigeria are compared with previous results. A smaller decrement in amplitude due to temperature than previously accepted is suggested.
