  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. 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 ...

  4. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

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

    Accommodation usually acts like a reflex, including part of the accommodation-convergence reflex, but it can also be consciously controlled. The main ways animals may change focus are: Changing the shape of the lens. Changing the position of the lens relative to the retina. Changing the axial length of the eyeball. Changing the shape of the cornea.

  6. Vergence-accommodation conflict - Wikipedia

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

    Light field displays are one of the best ways to solve the vergence-accommodation conflict. [22] They share features with integral imaging displays. CREAL, a near-eye display manufacturer for AR headsets/glasses, developed a light field display technology that projects the light rays just like they exist in the real world. This way, the virtual ...

  7. 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]

  8. 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 ...

  9. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    An eye examination, commonly known as an eye test, [1] is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. [2] It also includes other tests and examinations of the eyes. [2] Eye examinations are primarily performed by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or an orthoptist.
