Two different magnitude prismatic spectacles were worn in turn (8 \u0394 BO and 16 \u0394 BO), and for both tasks, distance fixation was maintained for the duration of lens wear. Eight subjects returned on a separate day for further testing and had axial length measured before, during, and immediately after a 15\u2010min convergence task.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No significant change was found to occur in axial length either during or after the sustained convergence tasks (p &gt; 0.6).

The corneal refractive power spherocylinder power vector J0 was found to change by a small (mean change of 0.03 D after the 16 \u0394 BO task) but statistically significant (p = 0.03) amount as a result of the convergence task (indicative of a reduction in with\u2010the\u2010rule corneal astigmatism after convergence).
