The relationship between vergence and accommodation remains relatively unexplored. The frequent co-occurrence of non-strabismic accommodation and vergence disorders suggests a link between the two processes. Experimental data also reveal that vergence and accommodation have reciprocal effects, where their reflexes influence each other mutually. According to previous findings, chromatic aberration (CA) plays a key role in the learning of accommodation, with the magnitude and direction of defocus being indicated by the relative contrasts detected by the long, medium, and short wavelength cones i
