no it actually constricts. :)

What structre changes the the shape of the lens for far and near vision?

The ciliary muscle is responsible for changing the shape of the lens to enable the eye to focus on objects at different distances. When focusing on far objects, the ciliary muscle relaxes, causing the lens to flatten. When focusing on near objects, the ciliary muscle contracts, causing the lens to round up.


What is the parasympathetic ganglion that serves the eye?

the effects are ciliary muscle contraction leading to a constricted pupil and opening of the canal of schlemm to all aqueous humour drainage. Also there is an increase in tear formation. The PNS has a role in accomodation to light.


What muscle is responsible for eye accommodation of near and distal vision?

The ciliary muscle is responsible for eye accommodation for near and far vision. It accomplishes this task by changing the shape of the lens.


What is the near point of vision?

The near point of vision increases with age because the elesticity of the lens decreases as we get older.near pointthe nearest point of clear vision, the absolute near p. being that for either eye alone with accommodation relaxed, and the relative near p. that for both eyes with the employment of accommodation


What does minus 8 and minus 7 vision mean?

Those numbers are near sight perscriptions. The lower the number, the more "unfocused" or worse the vision is. If the number is positive, then it is a far sighted perscription, which is used in reading glasses. Hope this answered your question =) -A 14 year old girl with minus 8 vision. Myopia stinks =(

Does pupil size remain constant while focusing fixed near point object?

Yes, pupil size should not be affected by the focal distance, unless there is a change in the amount of light at that distance. To change focal distance, the lens contracts or expands. The pupil dilates and constricts based upon how much ambient light there is.


Where does most of the focusing occur in the eye?

The majority of focusing in the eye occurs in the cornea and the lens. The cornea provides most of the focusing power, while the lens fine-tunes the focus to help with near and far vision.


Intact capillaries near an injury dilate?

What is the definition of reactive to light and accommodation?

Reactive to light refers to pupils constricting when exposed to light and dilating in the dark. Reactive to accommodation means pupils constricting when focusing on near objects and dilating when looking at far objects.


Why are some types of eyeglasses called bifocals?

Bifocal glasses have lenses with two distinct optical powers, usually for near and distance vision. They are called bifocals because they have two focal points, one for near vision and one for distance vision, incorporated into a single lens.

What is an Argyll Robertson pupil?

An Argyll Robertson pupil is a bilateral small pupil of the eye which reduces in size when the patient focuses on a near object but does not constrict when exposed to bright light - a sign of neurosyphilis.


How come in summer your green eyes get bright golden rings around the pupil?

I have green eyes with gold flecks around the pupil also. But it is just that the gold only shows in bright light, which constricts the pupil sufficiently for the inner part of the iris to show. In dimmer light, the eyes dilate (pupil becomes wider) so only the outer part of the iris is visible. Another possibility is a person with naturally golden eyes, but wearing green contact lenses. With tinted contacts, the artificial color does not go all the way to the center (or the wearer would see everything as being green, if it covered the pupil). So when their pupils are constricted, a ring of their natural color shows through the clear center of the contact lens near the pupil.


What are signs of farsightedness?

Depending upon the amount of farsightedness, symptoms can range from none to clear distance vision but blurry near vision, to blurry distance and near vision

what does 30 50 vision mean?

30 50 is considered mild vision loss, or near-normal vision.


What is the standard distance for the near point in vision testing?

The standard distance for the near point in vision testing is typically 14-16 inches.
