<strong>ARVO</strong> 2013 Annual Meeting Abstracts by Scientific Section/Group – <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Psychophysics</strong> / <strong>Physiological</strong> <strong>Optics</strong>respectively). To assess the impact of dominance on visualperformance, through-focus visual acuity (VA) from 0.0 to 3.0D at0.5D step with a 4mm artificial pupil was measured under twoconditions by assigning dominant and non-dominant eye to distanceand near, respectively, and vice versa. Traditional monovision of1.5D anisometropia was measured for comparison.Results: Sensory eye dominance spanned from weak (DOD=4%) tostrong (DOD=23%) dominance with average DOD=9±8%. Theaverage difference in through-focus VA between switching eyeassignment for distance in modified and traditional monovision was -0.01±0.04 and 0.00±0.03 logMAR, respectively. The subject with thestrongest dominance experienced a loss in intermediate (0.5-1.5D)VA of 0.16±0.09 and 0.05±0.01 logMAR with modified andtraditional monovision, respectively, when the non-dominant eye wasassigned to distance compared to assigning the non-dominant eye tonear.Conclusions: For subjects with typical low and moderate levels ofsensory eye dominance, the degree of dominance did not have asignificant effect on through-focus VA in monovision regardless ofwhich eye was assigned to distance and near. However, it isimportant for subjects with strong eye dominance to assign thedominant eye to distance vision for optimal through-focus VA,especially in modified monovision correction.Commercial Relationships: Len Zheleznyak, None; Aixa Alarcon,None; Kevin C.

However the success of the procedure maydepend on the particular SA values required by each patient. Weevaluate a customization procedure where the optimum values of SAwere determined for each patient using an adaptive optics visionanalyzer before the surgery.Methods: A group of 38 hyperopic/presbyopic patients wereevaluated before and after surgery using the Adaptive <strong>Optics</strong> VisionAnalyzer (AOVA, Voptica SL, Murcia, Spain). This is a clinicalinstrument to perform vision testing with full control of the opticalaberrations induced in the patient’s eye non-invasively. The AOVAincludes a wave-front sensor, a liquid crystal on silicon spatial lightmodulator to induce any desired aberration profile on the patient’seye, and a micro-display to present the visual stimuli. <strong>Visual</strong> acuitywas measured for defined combinations of residual defocus and SA atinfinity, 60 cm and 40 cm. In each patient, the sets of optimizedvalues of defocus and SA required to maintain adequate near and farVA were determined. Then, and taking into account the patient’scorneal asphericity (Q-value), the LASIK procedure (WaveLightAllegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser, Alcon) was settled to induce thedesired range of negative SA in one eye. The fellow dominant eyewas treated only to reach emmetropia without inducing SA. After thesurgery, through focus VA, residual refraction, and SA was measuredusing the AOVA in each patient.Results: The average Q-value changed from -0.1 to -0.6 in thedominant eyes, and from -0.05 to -0.8 in the eyes treated for inducingextra asphericity. The average value of SA providing an extendeddepth of focus was around -0.2 microns for 4.5-mm pupil. In theseeyes, the required positive addition for intermediate and near visionchanged from +1.00D and +1.70D to +0.40D and +1.00Drespectively. In those eyes with no SA induced, the positive additionrequired hardly changed.Conclusions: Hyperopic presbyopic patients are ideal candidates forcustomized LASIK to induce an extended depth of focus. Thisprocedure can be optimized when mediated with adaptive to predictthe right amount of SA to be induced. These results suggest that theLASIK guided with and AOVA can provide improved visualoutcomes at all distances.Commercial Relationships: Guillermo M. Perez, VOPTICA (E);Eloy A. Villegas, Voptica, S.L.

Section of Optometry andVision Science, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact ofage on Amplitude of Accommodation (AA) in a Bolivian populationand compare it with previously published data. We were alsointerested in finding out the age of onset of Presbyopia in thispopulation.Methods: A sample of 197 Bolivian subjects aged between 8 to 60years, attending three different field clinics provided by Vision ForAll (non-profit organization, Sweden) was used in the study. All thesubjects were refracted binocularly and had at least best correction<strong>Visual</strong> acuity of 20/25. None of the subjects had any visiblestrabismus or ocular pathology. The AA was measured using thepush-up and push-down method with a Royal Air Force (RAF) ruler.The ruler has both a metric scale in centimeters and a dioptric scale.The subjects were asked to read letters of N5 print size and reportfirst sustained blur in push-up method and first sustained clear in thepush-down method. The subjects had their correction in place duringthe measurements. Among the presbyopic subjects a +2.00D lens wasplaced as an addition to bring the target within measurable limits. Theaverage of push-up and push-down readings was used as thesubjective AA.Results: Independent samples t-test showed no statisticallysignificant difference between the present and the previous AAstudies (p > 0.05). The AA of the Bolivian population was generallylower compared to previous investigations. Regression analysisshowed a significant correlation between age and the AA (r = 0.80, p< 0.05). The onset of presbyopia among the Bolivian population wasfound to be 38 years.Conclusions: This result supports the theory that there is a lower AAamong people in tropical zones compared to those from temperatezones. The onset of presbyopia for this Bolivian population wasseven years earlier than the Hofstetter formula would predict and fiveyears earlier compared to Duane’s (Duane A, Trans Am OphthalmolSoc, 1922; 20:132-157) values.Commercial Relationships: Magnus Andersson, None; BaskarTheagarayan, None©2013, Copyright by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc., all rights reserved.
