A Comparison of Accommodative Ability in Healthy Controls, Diabetics, and Healthy Subjects with a Family History of Diabetes

Healthy subjects with a family history of diabetes who are at increased risk of developing prediabetes had reduced accommodations. The AA and AF values are notably lower than the expected value for this age group. Identifying and monitoring these individuals could provide an opportunity for early intervention, potentially delaying the progression of accommodative anomaly-like symptoms associated with DM. This observation highlights the importance of considering family history and prediabetic status when examining accommodative function.
