Description Accommodation is the mechanism by which the eye can adjust to bring near objects into focus. In order to focus on a distant object, accommodation must be relaxed. This system is quite precise and its operation depends on the integrity of both central and peripheral connections. Systemic abnormalities or focal pathologic processes both may result in accommodative dysfunction which may either be excessive or insufficent.
