Results from the repeated measures two-factor analysis of variance comparing the mean accommodative lag and mean accommodative variability (time domain [root mean square, RMS] the low-frequency component [LFC, 0-0.6Hz]) between groups and by condition within each group.

RMS – Root mean square, LFC – Low-frequency component (0-0.6 hertz), Hz – hertz, D – diopters
Data log transformed for analysis; reported as arithmetic median differences
positive difference indicates the outcome variable (accommodative lag, RMS or LFC) is largest in the passive condition
positive difference indicates outcome variable is largest in the first group listed
Significant P-values (< 0.05) are in bold
