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

ScanSolve AI Answer

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.
