decreased
During close vision, the lens convexity increases due to the ciliary muscles contracting and changing the shape of the lens to increase its refractive power, allowing the eye to focus on nearby objects. This process is known as accommodation.
During distant vision, the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the suspensory ligament is taut, the convexity of the lens is increased, and light refraction is decreased. During close vision, the ciliary muscle is contracted, the suspensory ligament is relaxed, lens convexity is increased, and light refraction is increased.
when the degree of convergence of a convex lens placed in air increases, we say its convexity has increased. as the power of a lens is the measure of degree of its convergence or divergence, we can increase the convexity of a lens increasing its powerthis is further achieved by decreasing its focal length.as focal length is inversly proportional to the refractive index of lens we have to decrease in order to increase its convexity.
During close vision, the degree of light refraction increases as the eye accommodates to focus on near objects. The ciliary muscles contract to increase the curvature of the lens, allowing for better focus on nearby objects.

Yes, the ciliary muscle is relaxed for distant vision, but is contracted for close vision.
A bifocal lens is commonly used as a reading lens, as it has two distinct areas of focus - one for close-up reading and one for distance vision. This type of lens is helpful for individuals who have difficulty with near vision due to presbyopia.
The adjustment of the lens thickness to allow for clear vision at near distances is called accommodation. This process involves changing the shape and focus of the lens to bring close objects into sharp focus on the retina.
When the convexity of the lens is increased, the lens becomes thicker in the middle. This change causes light to refract more strongly, focusing light rays to a point closer to the lens. In the eye, this can help correct nearsightedness by bringing the focal point forward onto the retina.
Bio-focal typically refers to a type of lens that has two distinct powers: one for close-up vision and another for distance vision. This type of lens provides clear vision at multiple distances, making it popular for those with presbyopia or age-related vision changes.
