Explain accommodation in the human eye for distant and near vision.

Answer
Accommodation is the process by which the eye changes its optical power to maintain a clear image or focus on an object as its distance varies. This is achieved by changing the shape of the lens.
For Distant Vision (objects further than 6 m):
- The ciliary muscles relax.
- The suspensory ligaments tighten (become taut).
- The tension on the lens increases.
- The lens becomes less convex (flatter).
- Light rays are refracted less.
- Light rays are focused onto the retina.
For Near Vision (objects closer than 6 m):
- The ciliary muscles contract.
- The suspensory ligaments slacken.
- The tension on the lens decreases.
- The lens becomes more convex (more rounded).
- Light rays are refracted more.
- Light rays are focused onto the retina.
