What is the expected finding for MAF in cpm?

• A. 8 cpm
• B. 11 cpm
• C. 14 cpm
• D. 9 cpm

Answer: (B)

Monocular accommodative facility measures how quickly the eye can change focus between near and far while one eye is occluded. The test uses ±2 diopter flippers and a near target; you count how many complete cycles of clearing the target you can perform in one minute, reporting the result in cycles per minute. In a healthy adult, normal monocular accommodative facility is about 11 cycles per minute, with typical values roughly in the 8–13 cpm range. So, the expected finding for MAF is around 11 cpm. Values a bit lower can indicate accommodative infacility or fatigue, while a higher value would be less typical in standard testing.
