Accommodation is how an eye focuses using its lens.
Christiaan Huygens is to credit for using the root of the word accommodation in reference to the eye.[1]
The mechanism for accommodation is formed by ciliary muscles and zonules in the eye.
Gordon G. Heath identified four components of accommodation, which were adapted from Ernest Maddox, who originally developed four components for vergence.[2]
