What Is Pupillary Accommodation

The accommodation reflex

What does pupillary accommodation mean?

Accommodation. Accommodation is your eyes’ ability to change focus. Healthy pupils dilate when you look at something far away and shrink when you look at things that are near. If yours don’t adjust at all, your test results will show abnormal reaction to accommodation.

What is the purpose of the accommodation pupillary reflex?

The function of the accommodation reflex is to coordinate visual attention to near objects. Proper convergence prevents diplopia. Constriction of the pupil increases the depth of field.
