Mean differences in Near Point of Convergence, Positive Fusional Vergence, and CI Symptom Survey (CISS) score at study entry for participants with and without accommodative dysfunction in both the CITT and CITT-ART studies.

The p values are for independent samples t tests of mean differences.

Decreased accommodative amplitude was more than 2D below the minimum expected amplitude for age (15 - ¼ age); Decreased accommodative facility was less than 6 cycles per minute
