Adjust the SRx to deal with the anisometropia, or hyperopic/myopic shift.
Provide patient education on their new glasses and the progression of their cataract.
Require a yearly DFE to monitor progression
Begin having the patient return for DFEs every 6 months and refer them for cataract extraction
Perform a RAM/PAM if the patient is not correctable to 20/20 to assess retinal function
Explain to the patient that although they may be used to their Rx usually being stable now we may see a change more frequently.
Advise patient to RTC 1 year for PCE/DFE.
Advise the patient that they can't drive anymore and you will report them to the DMV as unfit to drive.
Provide education on sensitivity to glare, difficulty seeing in dim lighting and the gradual decrease in vision which will take place over the following years.

If a myopes' amplitudes are low and you correct them for distance, they might now have problems up close.
When you fully correct the myope you give them more accommodative power and can cause convergence excess
You decrease accommodation by adding minus lenses
You decrease the patient's negative fusional vergence
Accommodative Amplitude
Relative Accommodation
Accommodative Response
Accommodative Facility
It measures relative accommodation
It should be performed with the patient's best correction in place, therefore ideally you would perform it with the manifest refraction in place.
It should only be done binocularly
It should be done with an add in place.
The expected amplitudes for a 48 yo will be roughly 12.5
It measures the accommodative response and you expect values +0.50 + or - 0.50D
: It is a subjective test, so it’s difficult for children to understand
Latent Hyperopes will overaccommodate at both distance and near so they show a lead
Lag (PLUS) means their accommodative response is behind the stimulus
Presbyopia
Accommodative spasm
Latent Hyperopia
Over-minused Rx
The patient must maintain convergence at a particular level while you change the accommodative response.
NRA tests the ability to relax accommodation and increase PFV.
PRA tests the ability to stimulate accommodation and increase PFV.
How much the NRA changes depends on the AC/A ratio
People with a low PRA have difficulty relaxing accommodation and difficulty increasing PFV (convergence)
Symptoms that are commonly seen in patients with accommodative and vergence problems are blurry vision, double, headaches, eyestrain, words on a page might look like they’re moving around, they feel sleepy, they don’t want to do near work. Most of these things occur when they are doing prolonged near work toward the end of the day when their eyes are really tired.
Signs you may find during an exam that may suggest accommodative insufficiency (AI)include: Increased accommodative amplitude, low BCC, increased PRA
People with accommodative problems can still have diplopia, but blur is the hallmark sign and diplopia with vergence.
Accommodative insufficiency (AI) is a condition when the patient has difficulty stimulating accommodation

70% of worker accidents result from flying or falling objects or sparks striking the eye
OSHA requires sideshields whenever there is potential for injury from flying objects
Color vision tests produce valid results only when administered under the appropriate lighting conditions (standard illuminant "C")
High impact safety lenses carry a warning label
The minimum edge thickness of 2.5mm
Center thickness > or equal to 3.0mm except for lenses with a power of > or equal to +3.00D
The lens is tested with a 1/4'' steel ball dropped from 50''
It bears a warning label stating that the lens is basic impact, not high impact,
Type III has a full or partial face shield
Type 1: Front piece molded as one unit (lenses and frame are together)
Type II: Lenses are separate from the frame front (lenses may be plano or prescription)
High impact resistant lenses are optional for sports.
Computer eyestrain affects more than 70% of approximately 143 million Americans who work on a computer on a daily basis
Neck and shoulder pain along with headaches are common signs of computer vision problems
The pixel formation on computers causes eyes to drift to the resting point of accommodation
