AB  - Measurements of tonic accommodation (TA) were made on 25 subjects using He-Ne 
      laser optometry (HNL), infra-red optometry (IR) and near retinoscopy (NR) under 
      darkroom conditions. All three techniques were shown to produce comparable mean 
      estimates of TA (HNL: 1.10 D; IR: 1.15 D; NR: 1.07 D). Significant correlations 
      were found between HNL and IR (r = 0.88, p less than 0.001) and between HNL and 
      NR (r = 0.81. p less than 0.001). Control studies under cycloplegia indicate that 
      the estimates are not seriously affected by fluctuations in accommodative state. 
      These findings indicate that ophthalmic practitioners can gain access to 
      refractive data that aids the clinical management of the "anomalous myopias" and 
      asthenopia associated with VDU work.
