Question

Define the term power of accommodtion. Write the modification in the curvature of the
eye lens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly.

Answer 1

The ability of the eye lens to abjust its focal length, so as to clearly focus rays coming from
distant as well as near objects on the retina, is called the power of accommodation of the eye.
The ciliary muscles contract which increases the curvature of eye lens and it thickens which
enables us to see the nearby objects clearly.
