Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binocular vision, which is the overlapping of the two visual fields, provides for depth perception (3-D vision) by allowing the brain to integrate the slightly different images from each eye into one coherent image. Accommodation refers to the process of adjusting the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances, while convergence refers to the inward movement of the eyes as they focus on a nearby object. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different substances or mediums, such as the cornea and lens of the eye.
