The lens is connected to the inside of the front part of the eye by muscle fibres which form a radiating ring around it. When we wish to focus on close objects, these fibres relax, and the lens becomes more rounded and thick, allowing light rays from close objects to be focussed onto the back of the eye. When we wish to focus on distant objects, the muscles contract, pulling the lens outwards so that it becomes thinner and flatter.
--> When humans reach - on average - their early forties, the cells making up the lens become harder and less flexible, and so, when the muscles relax, the lens gradually loses its ability to change shape to focus on close-up objects. This is the reason that almost everybody starts to need to use reading glasses at some point from around this age.

Why does the ocular lens adjust?
The ocular lense adjustment allows the image from the microscope to be precisely focused on the retina of the viewer's eye.
What is a accommodation pupillary reflex?
Adjustment of the focal length of the lens of the eye, to accomodate the various light rays from various distances.
What elements make up the eye's lens?
The lens is made up of approximately 35% protein and 65% water.
How does posterior capsule opacification occur?
PCO formation is an attempt by the eye to make a new lens from remaining lens material.
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.
What is the automatic brightness adjustment in a human eye?
depends on the strength of your lens
What is the function of crystalline lens in the human eye?
The primary function of crystallline lens is to adjust focus of eye on objects at different distances.This adjustment of focus is similar to the focussing of a photographers camera ,and is contolled by the nervous system which activate the muscles around the lens to alter its shape and hence refractive power. So the answer is to adjustment of pupil.
What is the adjustment to the thickness of the lens to make close vision possible?

The adjustment of the thickness of the lens to make close vision possible is called what?
Accomodation
What is the name of the process in which adjustments are made by the eye to produce a clear image on the retina?
Accommodation is an adjustment, especially adjustment of the eye for seeing objects at various distances. This is accomplished by the ciliary muscle, which controls the lens of the eye, allowing it to flatten or thicken as is needed for distant or near vision.
What is the lens of the eyes?
the lens is what the eye uses to focus an image on the retina.function of the eye lense is is to adjust the focal length of the eye so it can make a real and sharp image of object
What do eye lens do?
The lens focuses light by bending the light to make it strike the retina in the right angle
