A member asked:
Can ciliary muscle exercises restore (some) accommodation for a 73 yo male? if so, what are they, or please recommend sources for such exercises. is there any other treatment in this regard. thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: We do not lose accommodation because the ciliary muscle becomes wear but because the lens becomes more rigid. The lens grows new fibers at the edge of the lens (the capsule) and grows towards the center. By age 73 the lens is very stiff and will not change shape to focus.
