  2. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. 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.

  3. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

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

    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 an object can be seen, to the near point —the minimum distance for a ...

  4. Accommodative convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_convergence

    Accommodative convergence is that portion of the range of inward rotation of both eyes (i.e., convergence) that occurs in response to an increase in optical power for focusing by the crystalline lens (i.e., accommodation). [1] When the human eye engages the accommodation system to focus on a near object, signal is automatically sent to the ...

  5. Vergence-accommodation conflict - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence-accommodation...

    Incorrect vergence response can cause double vision. Accommodation is the eye’s focusing mechanism and it is engaged to produce a sharp image on a retina. Both of these mechanisms are neurally linked forming the accommodation-convergence reflex [1] of eyes.

  6. Negative relative accommodation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Negative_relative_accommodation

    Negative relative accommodation (NRA) was proposed by Joseph Kearney of Oxford University in 1967 as a measure of the maximum ability to relax accommodation while maintaining clear, single binocular vision. It is an indirect measurement of fusional vergence in binocular vision. [1]

  7. Spasm of accommodation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasm_of_accommodation

    A spasm of accommodation (also known as a ciliary spasm, an accommodation, or accommodative spasm) is a condition in which the ciliary muscle of the eye remains in a constant state of contraction. Normal accommodation allows the eye to "accommodate" for near-vision. However, in a state of perpetual contraction, the ciliary muscle cannot relax ...

  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.

  9. Instrument myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_myopia

    Ideally, the person will choose a focus adjustment on the instrument that allows the eyes to have relaxed accommodation—that is to present the image(s) at a distance of about 6 meters, or optical infinity. However, most people tend to accommodate to nearer than 6 m. [1] It is this too-close focussing of the eyes that is instrument myopia.
