    Author: Gallaway M, Scheiman M.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1990 Jan; 61(1):36-9. PubMed ID: 2319091.
    Abstract:
    Subjective testing of accommodative facility can be difficult with young or nonverbal children, and children with learning problems. A new technique to objectively assess accommodative facility using monocular estimation method (MEM) retinoscopy is described. The objective technique was compared to a subjective assessment of accommodative facility, and the techniques were in agreement 86% of the time. Possible clinical usefulness of the objective procedure is discussed.
