The curvature lens of an eye is a transparent structure of eye which works to refract light to be focused on retina. The curvature adjusts according to angle and view therefore it is not fixed.

What is a defective curvature of the cornea and lens of the eye?
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism
What is the process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature?
The Ciliary Muscles
How lens power change with curvature of lens surface?
The lens power increases as the curvature of the lens surface becomes steeper. A lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a lower power, while a lens with a smaller radius of curvature will have a higher power. This relationship is described by the lensmaker's equation, which relates the power of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its surfaces.
Function of the eye cornea?
Because the cornea is as smooth and clear as glass but is strong and durable, it helps the eye in two ways 1. It helps to shield the rest of the eye from germs, dust, and other harmful matter. The cornea shares this protective task with the eyelids, the eyesocket, tears, and the sclera, or white part of the eye 2. The cornea acts as the eye's outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. The cornea contributes between 65-75 percent of the eye's total focusing power. When light strikes the cornea, it bend-or retracts-the incoming light onto the lens. The lens further refocuses that light into the retina, a layer of light sensing cells lining the back of the eye that starts the translation of light into vision. For you to see clearly, light rays must be focused by the cornea and lens to fall precisely on the retina. The retina converts the light rays into impulses that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them as images
What is part of the refractory media of the eye?
the structures in the eye that refract light in the eye is the lens and the cornea.
Does the eye have a fixed curvature?
NO
What is a defective curvature of the cornea and lens of the eye?
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism
The curvature of an eye's convex lens is change by?
Muceles
What is the relation of focal length of eye with its curvature?
More the curvature of the eye lens, lesser the focal length is. Lesser the curvature, greater the focal length is
What is the process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature?

Why is it important for your eye to contain a lens?
Without the lens in your eye you can not form a image on the retina. As the retina is kept at a fixed distance you change the thickness of the lens to get the image on the retina.
What is definition of centre of curvature of lens?
define the term centre of curvature
What does the lens in an eye do?
Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus by changing the curvature of the lens. The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.
What objective lens is the longest?
The lens with the greatest (positive) curvature. The lens with the highest diopter.
What is the difference in camera and in human eye in the method of focusing?
In a camera, the lens is fixed - focusing is done by moving the lens forward or backward to get a sharp image. In the human eye, muscles surrounding the eyeball 'distort' the lens to change its focal length.
What is radius of curvature?
The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
