AA was measured using the RAF rule. Refined with near Duochrome chart, the NA was given with the chart at 40 cm.

When prescribing glasses, 62.01% (CI 58.78 to 65.23) and 90.93% (CI 62.50 to 119.37) of the AA was found to be kept in reserve for patients below and above 50 years of age respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Accommodative reserve kept in our study patients when prescribing NA was two to three times the theoretical recommendation.
