Table 4.

Mean NPC (Near Point of Convergence), PFV (Positive Fusional Vergence), and CI Symptom Survey (CISS) score at study entry for participants in the CITT and CITT-ART studies by accommodative function (both decreased amplitude and facility; one (either) type of dysfunction; neither accommodative dysfunction).

Accommodative Function
(Status of AA and AF)
Decreased AA or AF compared to age-normal accommodation Decreased AA and AF compared to age-normal accommodation Decreased AA and AF compared to Decreased AA or AF
Measure Both AA and AF Decreased
(N=127)
Mean (SD)
Either AA or AF Decreased

The p value from an ANOVA testing for mean differences is displayed after the group means.

**

The p values for the group comparisons have been corrected for multiple testing using the Holm–Bonferroni stepdown method.

Decreased accommodative amplitude = more than 2D below the minimum expected amplitude for age (15 - ¼ age); Decreased accommodative facility = less than 6 cycles per minute. Age normal accommodation = Neither AA or AF Decreased
