Abstract
In order to examine whether the accommodative trainings with push-up or flipper methods induce the decrement of near addition on early presbyopia aged in 40s having less than 1.00 D addition, daily home vision training was performed for 12 weeks. We evaluated accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, relative accommodation, and presbyopic addition at every one week. Two accommodative trainings significantly decreased the presbyopic addition as a degree from 0.125 D to 0.375 D, and push-up training was more effective than that of flipper training. Both push-up and flipper trainings are an useful methods to decrease the near addition of early presbyopia as an improvement of the accommodative amplitude.
