Question
Answer the following question.
Write the modification in the curvature of the eye lens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly?
Solution
There should be a contract in ciliary muscles, that will increase the curvature of the eye lens and becomes thicker consequently the focal length of the eye lens will decrease. It will enable us to see near objects clearly.
