Accommodation is the ability of the healthy eye to focus on both near and far objects. The relaxed state of the ciliary muscle is distance vision, and the flexed state is near vision.
Children start out with a lot of accommodative power (about 25 D). As you age, the lens in your eye becomes less flexible, resulting in less accommodative power, which is called presbyopia, especially if it is less than 2.5 D (40 cm through distance correction).
