Syfte: Att undersöka om astigmatismen ändras eller uppstår vid närarbete och om det finns behov att korrigera patienter som visar en styrkeförändring på nära håll.Metod: Studien är baserad på 27 personer i åldern 18-33 år; en övre gräns på 38 år bestämdes för att exkludera patienter med mindre än 5D ackommodationsamplitud. Undersökningen inleddes med en synundersökning enligt Kvalitetsnormen version 14, därefter fick patienten med sin avståndskorrektion undersöka stråltavlor på 40 cm för att se om astigmatismen hade förändrats. Detta mättes monokulärt med hjälp av en korscylinder för att finna bästa cylinderstyrka och axelläge. Ett frostat glas placerades framför det ögat som inte undersöktes för att undvika ögonrotation.Resultat: I 20 % av ögonen (tre hyperoper, fem astigmatiker, två emmetroper och en myop) visades en förändring i astigmatismen vid närarbete. En av patienterna hade en förändring i axelläget och cylinderstyrka vid närarbete på båda ögonen medan tre hade endast ändring av axelläget och cylinderstyrkan på ett öga.
