Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual accommodation is the process by which the ciliary muscle adjusts the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a medium, such as the lens of the eye. Reflection is the bouncing back of light off a surface. Photoreception is the process by which the photoreceptor cells in the retina detect light. Perception is the interpretation of sensory information by the brain.
