Abstract
The work of the visual analyzer is very energy-intensive for the brain. Ассommodation (the ability to scan for hazards at different distances) takes up a significant portion of brain resources. In the life expectancy curve, periods of increased risk of death coincide with periods of farsightedness during the development of the normal (emmetropic) eye - the first years of life and after 40 years. In case of farsightedness, the load on the accommodative apparatus is maximum (compared to other types of refraction), which exhausts the brain and the body as a whole. Therefore, after 40 years of age, in the conditions of body aging, the brain gradually turns off near accommodation (the lens loses its elasticity, the ciliary muscle - its efficiency). Excessively weakened accommodation is a trigger for age-related eye diseases (cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration). New surgical approaches to the treatment of these ophthalmopathologies based on the restoration of accommodation have been proposed. These surgeries may affect not only the quality of vision but also the life expectancy of patients.
