Question

Name and define 3 types of focusing problems - and your experience with any of them. Focusing on the perceptual process.

Answer 1

The three types of focusing problems are:

• Accommodative Insufficiency: This is most common form of focusing problem. In this problem of perceptual process it is difficult to focus on the tasks that are near, or in other words its an inability to focus on tasks that requires perception of near by objects.
• Accommodative Infacility : This problem of focus is inability to switch focus between the near and far objects. It is the inability of the eyes to focus with the efficient speed and accuracy.
• Accommodative Spasm: In this problem of focus the ciliary muscles of the eye remains in a constant state, hence, the vision becomes blurry. It mostly occurs when attention is shifted from a prolonged near task to a far object.

Sometimes when attention is focused on tasks as embroidery work for longer duration and when the focus is shifted to a far object, the vision seems to be blurry, thus, accommodation spasms has been experienced.
