“…The improvement with PLRA was from 3.58D to 4.25D. This is less than the improvement found by Abdi et al (2007) over a 12-week treatment period with the same +1.00D reading addition and less than that found by Daum (1983b). However, in the results reported by Daum (1983b), the subjects were seen more frequently by the examiner, which is likely to improve compliance.…”

“…The power of the flipper (±1.50D) used for treatment and the power of the PLRA (+1.00D) were chosen based on previous experience (Abdi et al, 2006(Abdi et al, , 2007 with flipper and PLRA treatment in emmetropic children with AI. For the flipper treatment the subjects were instructed to do two sessions of nine minutes each day.…”

“…The subjective reading improvement in children with AI subjected to treatment, including plus lens corrections and accommodative training, may be related to symptomatic relief and increased concentration [33]. In our study, an MAA less than 2 SD with respect to the mean value for the control group was found in 11 poor readers and none of the control group children.…”

Purpose Accommodative insufficiency (AI), defined as the inability to stimulate accommodation in pre-presbyopic individuals, has gained much attention over recent years. Despite the enormity of the available information, there is a significant lack of clarity regarding the criteria for definition, methodology adopted for testing and diagnosis, and the varied prevalence across the globe. This review aims to gather evidence that is pertinent to the prevalence, impact and efficacy of available treatment options for AI. Methods PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane Collaboration search engines were used with the keywords prevalence, accommodative insufficiency, symptoms, plus lens, vision therapy and treatment. Peer-reviewed articles published between 1992 and 2019 were included in the review. After reviewing the studies for study methodology and robustness, 83 articles were chosen for this literature review. Results The prevalence of AI ranges between <1.00% and 61.6% across studies. The prevalence shows considerable variation across ethnicities and age groups. There is significant variation in the study methodology, diagnostic criteria and number of tests performed to arrive at the diagnosis. Not many studies have explored the prevalence beyond 20 years of age. The prevalence of AI is high among children with special needs. There is no high-quality evidence regarding the standard treatment protocol for AI. Both vision therapy and low plus lenses have shown efficacy in independent studies, and no studies have compared these two treatment options. Conclusion The understanding of AI prevalence is currently limited owing to the lack of a standard set of diagnostic criteria and wide variations in the study methodology. There is a lack of high-quality evidence suggesting the best possible treatment for AI. The current gaps in the literature have been identified and future scope for exploration is elucidated.
