Can tonic accommodation predict surgical performance?

BACKGROUND: Pilots undergo many visual tests for both selection and assessment, and we know that there are many similarities between pilots and surgeons. Hence, it would not be unreasonable to bring similar visual tests into surgery. Tonic accommodation ...
