In human nervous system: The eye
The initial stimulus for accommodation is a blurred visual image that first reaches the visual cortex. Through a series of cortical connections, the blurred image reaches two specialized motor centers. One of these, located in the frontal cortex, sends motor commands to neurons in the oculomotor nucleus controlling the…

In space perception: Cues from the eye muscles
The ciliary effect is called accommodation (focusing the lens for near or far vision), and the rectus effect is called convergence (moving the entire eyeball). Each of these muscle systems contracts as a perceived object approaches. The effect of accommodation in this case is to make the lens more convex,…

In human eye: Accommodation
The image of an object brought close to the eye would be formed behind the retina if there were no change in the focal length of the eye. This change to bring the image of an object upon the retina is…

In eye disease: Strabismus (squint)
Second, the focus (accommodation) of the eyes must be adjusted for near vision. The link between convergence of the eyes and focusing is very strong, and normally the two actions work in harmony, resulting in both eyes being appropriately aligned on the object of regard. However, in children…
