Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of accommodative training in a group of children with accommodative dysfunction and subjective symptoms. A total of 38 symptomatic children (ages nine to thirteen) and 24 controls, participated in the study. The length of training varied from 3 to 25 weeks. A follow-up examination was performed two years after the end of training. The study showed that it is possible to increase relative accommodative by accommodative facility training and minimize subjective symptoms. In the follow-up evaluation, none of the children had regained any subjective symptoms.
