Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depth perception is the ability to perceive three dimensions, even though our retina is only two-dimensional. It is achieved through various cues such as binocular cues, monocular cues, and motion parallax. Sensory accommodation refers to the ability of the lens in the eye to change shape in order to focus on near or far objects. Visual acuity refers to the sharpness of vision, while rod-cone refractance is not a recognized term in vision science.
