  2. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape ( accommodation) and pupil size. It is dependent on cranial nerve II ( afferent limb of reflex ...

  3. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The 1 cm spaced grid indicates a near focus focal length of around 6cm. Accommodation is the process by which the vertebrate eye changes optical power to maintain a clear image or focus on an object as its distance varies. In this, distances vary for individuals from the far point —the maximum distance from the eye for which a clear image of ...

  4. Accommodative insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_insufficiency

    Accommodative insufficiency ( AI) involves the inability of the eye to focus properly on an object. Accommodation is the adjustment of the curvature of the lens to focus on objects near and far. In this condition, amplitude of accommodation of a person is lesser compared to physiological limits for his age. [1]

  5. Accommodative infacility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_infacility

    Accommodative infacility also known as accommodative inertia[ 1] is the inability to change the accommodation of the eye with enough speed and accuracy to achieve normal function. This can result in visual fatigue, headaches, and difficulty reading. [ 2] The delay in accurate accommodation also makes vision blurry for a moment when switching ...

  6. Ciliary muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliary_muscle

    Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The ciliary muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the eye formed as a ring of smooth muscle [ 3 ][ 4 ] in the eye's middle layer, uvea ( vascular layer ). It controls accommodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal.

  7. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Light falling in one eye affects the diameter of the pupils in both eyes. One can easily see this by looking at a friend's eye while he or she closes the other: when the other eye is open, the pupil of the first eye is small; when the other eye is closed, the pupil of the first eye is large. Accommodation and vergence. Accommodation is the ...

  8. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance . Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device. It is approximately spherical in shape, with its outer ...

  9. Accommodative excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_excess

    In ophthalmology, accommodative excess (also known as excessive accommodation or accommodation excess) occurs when an individual uses more than normal accommodation (focusing on close objects) for performing certain near work. Accommodative excess has traditionally been defined as accommodation that is persistently higher than expected for the ...
