ph indicates phakometry, Scheimpflug photography, or similar optical method. CM25 is located at a point 25% of the estimated muscle length and roughly corresponds to the CMT1 position. CM2 is equivalent to CMT2.
References 41, 47, 51, 52, and 64 measured accommodative change with stimulus demand but did not measure accommodative response. The values provided in the table are calculated as responses per diopter of accommodative stimulus demand. The values from the current study are calculated from accommodative response.
