Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accommodation refers to the ability of the lens to change shape and adjust its focus in response to viewing objects at different distances. This allows us to keep objects in focus as they move closer or farther away from us. Refraction refers to the bending of light as it passes through different mediums (such as air and water), while presbyopia refers to the loss of the eye's natural ability to accommodate that typically occurs with aging. Stereopsis refers to the perception of depth and spatial relationships between objects that arises from the slightly different views of the world that each eye receives.
