The curvature of the lens of the eye changes shape to allow the eye to focus on a near object; this is called
A) refraction.
B) accommodation.
C) convergence.
D) emmetropia.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accommodation refers to the process by which the curvature of the lens changes to adjust the focus from distant to near objects. Refraction refers to the bending of light that occurs as it passes through the lens and other structures of the eye. Convergence refers to the movement of the eyes inward to focus on a near object. Emmetropia refers to the condition of normal vision in which light coming in from distant objects is focused correctly on the retina without the need for corrective lenses.
