The ability of eye to focus on both near and far objects is called:

  • A. Presbyopia
  • B. Myopia
  • C. Hypermetropia
  • D. Power of accommodation

Step-by-step solution

The ability of the eye to adjust its focus from distant to near objects is called accommodation. The power of accommodation refers to the eye's ability to change the focal length of its lens by altering the curvature of the lens through ciliary muscles. This allows clear vision at various distances. The other options are vision defects: Presbyopia is age-related loss of accommodation, Myopia is nearsightedness, and Hypermetropia is farsightedness.
