I think you still have your accuracy, it is just displaying 4 digits. You can test then by writing a text file with one of your numbers.

On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Select MATLAB > Command Window,and change Numeric format from "short" to "long". Then you should see all your decimal digits, not just an abbreviated form.

Use the format function to easily change it in a script or the Command Window.
