    Question

    The curvature of the actor lens can be changed by-

    A.

    the retina

    B.

    ciliary muscles

    C.

    the pupil

    D.

    the iris

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) ciliary muscles
    The ciliary muscles play a crucial role in adjusting the curvature of the lens in the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. This process is called accommodation. Here's how it works:

    • When focusing on nearby objects: The ciliary muscles contract, causing the lens to become more convex (rounded) to increase its refractive power.
    • When focusing on distant objects: The ciliary muscles relax, and the lens flattens, reducing its curvature.

    Additional Information:

    • Retina: The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye where images are formed. It does not influence the lens's curvature.
    • Pupil: The pupil is the opening that controls the amount of light entering the eye; it has no role in changing the lens's shape.
    • Iris: The iris is the colored part of the eye that adjusts the size of the pupil but does not affect the lens.
