Accommodation in the cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 1999
ABSTRACT We have studied natural accommodation in the eye of six specimens of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as they were fed with fish and shrimp. Using infrared photoretinoscopy, we observed (1) that the resting refractive state of the cuttlefish was emmetropic or slightly hyperopic, (2) that accommodation took place only a fraction of
