Accommodative dysfunction in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
can have a negative impact on quality of life, functional abilities, and
rehabilitative progress. In this study, we used a range of dynamic and static
objective laboratory and clinical measurements of accommodation to assess 12 adult patients (ages 18-40 years) with mTBI. The results were compared with
either 10 control subjects with no visual impairment or normative literature
values where available. Regarding the dynamic parameters, responses in those with
mTBI were slowed and exhibited fatigue effects. With respect to static
parameters, reduced accommodative amplitude and abnormal accommodative
interactions were found in those with mTBI. These results provide further
evidence for the substantial impact of mTBI on accommodative function. These findings suggest that a range of accommodative tests should be included in the comprehensive vision examination of individuals with mTBI.
