Accommodation Eyes Extracapsular

Eye accommodation is the ability of the eye to focus an image on the retina when the distance to an object changes. It is carried out with the help of the ciliary muscle, which is located in the capsule of the eye and is responsible for changing the curvature of the lens.

Extracapsular accommodation (ECA) is a condition where the ciliary muscle cannot relax completely and remains tense even after prolonged rest. This can lead to the development of nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.

The reasons for extracapsular accommodation may be different. For example, this may be due to genetic factors, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, glaucoma, and long-term use of contact lenses.

With extracapsular accommodation of the eye, you may experience discomfort and pain in the eyes, especially when working at close range for a long time. Headaches, fatigue and decreased visual acuity may also occur.

To diagnose extracapsular accommodation, it is necessary to conduct an examination, which includes testing visual acuity, determining the refraction of the eye and measuring intraocular pressure. Treatment for extracapsular accommodation may include the use of special glasses or contact lenses, as well as drug therapy.

An extracapsular accommodative disorder is a disorder of the coordinated contraction of the external and internal rectus muscles, which results in a lack of clear vision at distance but not at near objects. This sign may indicate serious problems with the visual system. This disease occurs as a result of eye injuries, eye surgeries, or infections that damage the nerve fibers.
