This word is NOT interchangeable with 'adapt'. You do NOT accommodate to a change in light level, you adapt to it. Although in general use the word accommodate can mean 'change', it has a very specific meaning in vision which is the change (increase) in power of the eye which comes about in order to focus a near object on the retina.
