Major inclusion criteria were occupational daily activities (at least 2 years) regarded as a visually intensive work related to electronic chart displays (at least 8 hours daily) with a high level of responsibility for a final result; complaints which are typical of accommodative asthenopia and evident of its subcompensation or decompensation; low myopia (SE &lt;3.0 diopters) or emmetropia; no ocular disorders (excepting refractive errors).</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Results</b>: the analysis of basic diagnostic criteria demonstrated that habitually excessive accommodation strain (HEAS) was diagnosed in 51 patients (59.3%) and asthenic accommodative asthenopia in 19 patients (22.1%).

The most typical accommodative disorders in asthenic accommodative asthenopia are the significant reduction of accomodogram growth parameters and the high-frequency component of accommodative microfluctuations.
