 '''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.
-Kids start with a lot of power of accommodation (about 25 D). As you age, the lens in your eye becomes less flexible, resulting in less power of accommodation, which is called [[presbyopia]], especially when it is less than 2.5 D (40 cm through distance correction).
