Which statement is true regarding the velocity of accommodation after vision therapy?

• A. It decreases
• B. It increases
• C. It remains unchanged
• D. It becomes erratic

Answer: (B)

Accommodative velocity is about how fast the eye can shift focus from one distance to another. Vision therapy trains the neural control of the ciliary muscle and improves how this system coordinates with vergence and other eye movements. Through repeated, targeted practice, the accommodative response becomes more efficient, reducing latency and increasing the rate at which lens power changes. So after therapy, you typically see a faster, more reliable shift in focus when switching between distances. If the velocity were to decrease, stay the same, or become erratic, that would indicate less effective or unstable adaptation, which therapy is designed to avoid.
