Loss of accommodation amplitude during eating (prandial presbyopia) is a rare phenomenon that has been reported in only 1 patient who had had head trauma. We report 2 patients who had not had head trauma and whose accommodative amplitudes, measured by dynamic retinoscopy, became markedly diminished within 1 minute of starting a meal and did not recover for 55-60 minutes. Apart from this abnormality, there appeared to be no autonomic or other neurologic dysfunction. The cause of this isolated disturbance in these patients is a mystery.

Transient blurring of near vision can be due to a variety of causes. We report the case of a 35-year-old man with a 10-year history of blurring of near vision that begins 30 to 45 seconds after he starts to eat and that lasts until 10 to 15 minutes after he stops eating. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of the brain and orbits did not reveal any abnormality, and stimulation of individual cranial nerves did not result in a loss of near vision.
