if the individual fails to read the optotype, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a first initial recommendation; placing an initial convex lens with a value within a range [+0.50; +1.00] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual prefers without the initial lens rather than with the initial lens, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a second initial recommendation; if the individual can see no difference with or without the initial lens, removing the initial lens: if the individual has an adaptation time to see clearly again after removing the initial lens, placing the initial lens; otherwise: if the far vision assessment report does not advise a near vision assessment, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report; otherwise, placing the initial lens; placing a first convex lens with a value within the range [+0.50; +1.00] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the first lens, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a first recommendation; placing a second convex lens with a value within the range [+0.50; +1.00] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the second lens, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a first recommendation; placing a third convex lens with a value within a range [+0.25; +0.50] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the third lens, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a first recommendation; placing a fourth convex lens with a value within the range [+0.25; +0.50] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the fourth lens and: if the far vision assessment report does not advise a near vision assessment, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report; otherwise, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a second recommendation; placing a fifth convex lens with a value within the range [+0.25; +0.50] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the fifth lens and: if the far vision assessment report does not advise a near vision assessment, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report; otherwise, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a third recommendation; placing a sixth convex lens with a value within the range [+0.25; +0.50] dioptres in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual has blurred vision after placing the sixth lens and: if the far vision assessment report does not advise a near vision assessment, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report; otherwise, interrupting the method and generating a near vision assessment report including a third recommendation; otherwise: removing the initial lens and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth lenses; placing a first final convex lens of intermediate correction in front of the individual's eyes and then removing the first final lens and placing a second final convex lens of strong correction in front of the individual's eyes: if the individual prefers the first final lens to the second final lens or if the individual can see no difference between the first and second final lenses, generating a near vision assessment report including a fourth recommendation; otherwise, generating a near vision assessment report including a fifth recommendation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first initial recommendation is to consult an ophthalmologist and/or to perform a near vision assessment on trial glasses. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the second initial recommendation is to perform accommodation training exercises and/or to perform a binocular vision assessment. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first recommendation is to perform accommodation training exercises. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the second recommendation is to perform a binocular vision assessment. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the third recommendation is to suggest an addition with a weak correction value. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the fourth recommendation is to suggest an addition having the intermediate correction value. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the fifth recommendation is to suggest an addition having the strong correction value. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A device for assessing the near vision accommodative state of a non-presbyopic individual for implementing the method according to claim 1, including: a display configured to display at least one optotype at a fixed distance from the individual's eyes and to display at least one selection suggestion and/or symbol; placement means configured to place optical lenses in front of the individual's eyes; and a storage memory; a calculator; selection means configured to select a selection suggestion and/or symbol. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when the instructions are executed on a computer, cause the computer to implement the steps of the method according to claim 1.
