Ocular Reflexes
Ocular reflexes are automatic responses of the eyes that help protect and maintain vision. These reflexes include the pupillary light reflex, which constricts the pupils in response to bright light, and the accommodation reflex, which adjusts the lens shape for focusing on near or far objects.
These reflexes are essential for visual clarity and safety. For example, the blink reflex protects the eyes from foreign objects and bright lights. Overall, ocular reflexes play a crucial role in how we interact with our environment and respond to visual stimuli.
