Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the convergence accommodation to convergence (CA/C) ratio
and to investigate relationships among age, accommodative amplitude and PD (interpupillary distance) of adults
in their early twenties with normal binocular vision. Methods: 44 subjects (mean age, 21.75¡¾1.16 years) with
healthy eyes were examined. The CA/C ratios were measured by using the difference of Gaussian (DOG) target
with retinoscopy. Results: The mean CA/C ratio was 0.052¡¾0.017 D/¥Ä. A moderate negative correction was
present between CA/C ratio and age (r = ?0.50, p = 0.0005), and a highly positive correction was found between
CA/C ratio and accommodative amplitude (r = 0.79, p<0.0001). There was no relation between PD and CA/C
ratio. Conclusions: The CA/C ratio presented was mean value for adults in their early twenties with healthy eye
between 19 and 25 years of age. There was a high correlation between accommodative amplitude and CA/C ratio.
Therefore, the CA/C ratio will be useful basic information for comparison in age, gender and binocular anomalies
with similar data from other countries.
