The term used to describe an individual's ability to accommodate is known as what?

Depth of focus
Amplitude of accommodation
Visual acuity
Binocular disparity

The correct answer is: Amplitude of accommodation

The term that describes an individual's ability to accommodate is indeed the amplitude of accommodation. This refers to the range over which the eye can adjust its focus to see objects clearly at different distances. Essentially, it measures how much the eye can change its focal length, which is crucial for clear vision when switching focus from near to far objects. As individuals age, or in certain ocular conditions, this amplitude can decrease, leading to difficulties in accommodating quickly or effectively. Having a good understanding of this concept is essential for assessing visual performance and determining if corrective lenses or other interventions are needed for individuals facing accommodation issues.
