Which term describes the inward rotation of the eyes to focus on a close object?

• A. Convergence of Eyes
• B. Developmental Scales
• C. Eccentric viewing
• D. Callier-Azusa Scale

Answer: (A)

Convergence of the eyes describes the inward rotation of both eyes as you focus on something up close. When you look at a near object, the eyes turn toward each other so the image falls on the corresponding spots on each retina, maintaining single, clear vision. This inward movement is part of the near response, which also includes changing the lens shape (accommodation) and pupil constriction to optimize close-up focus. Other terms don’t describe this eye movement: developmental scales assess growth milestones, eccentric viewing is using peripheral vision often due to central vision loss, and the Callier-Azusa Scale refers to a different assessment not about how the eyes move to focus near objects.
