The amount of residual accommodation was measured by the blur point method, and the following results were obtained. 1) The average amount of the residual accommodation was 0.96 D under l% atropine and 1.42 D under 5% homatropine. 2) In comparing the two cycloplegic agents, 1% atropine was found to be more effective than 5% homatropine. 3) Residual accommodation under l% atropine and 5% homatropine showed gradually decrease in older patients. 4) No sex difference was found.
