The diagnostic value of the computer accommodation method remains insufficiently studied. Accommodative and refractive error is a common problem, accounting for 23% of the world's population. The aim of the study was to investigate the objective parameters of accommodative insufficiency in young people with and without myopia. A cross-sectional study was carried out using a random sample of 116 of university students at the age of 21-23 years. Normal ranges for accommodation parameters in non-myopic participants were defined by 10th and 90th percentile values. The normal ranges were from -0.17 to -0.38 conventional units (c.u.) for accommodative response coefficient (ARC), from 0.08 to 0.41 c.u. for deviation of ARC (σARC), from 0.0 to 0.43 c.u. for accommodogram growth coefficient (AGC), from 54.26 to 58.55 microfluctuations per minute (mcf/min) for coefficient of microfluctuations (CMF), and from 2.58 to 5.26 c.u. for deviation of CMF (σCMF). Signs of computer visual syndrome were observed in 40.9% of non-myopic participants, eye strain in 11.9%, accommodation cramp in 4.5%, and absence or little accommodative response in 3.6%. Therefore, computer accommodation assessment allowed the detection of young people with an increased risk of myopia among those without this ophthalmic pathology.
