Owoeye Accomodation Flashcards
What is a dynamic process to produce and maintain a focused retinal image. Power of the lens changes to maintain image. Lens curvature changes, the lens power changes and focusing changes…
Accomodation
What is the only active muscle with accommodation while other parts are passive?
Ciliary muscle
Ciliary muscle contracts while all other muscles ________ and accommodation occurs.
Relax
Does the diameter get smaller or bigger with accommodation?

Eye accommodation
Pupil constriction
Eyes converge
Why does the pupil size change? 3 things
Controls light
Modifies depth of focus
varies any optical aberration
