Muscles in the eye surrounding the lens contract stretching it out, flattening it; or relax, letting it thicken. These changes in shape refocus the lens.

Structure in eye which focus light by bending or changing thickness?

Both the cornea (hard outer tissue) and the lens (farther inside) curve light rays that fall on the outer eye and direct them toward the retina. The lens is adjusted by muscles in the eye, while the cornea has a fixed focus.


How does light refracted when it goes through the lens in a normal eye?

Light is refracted when it passes through the lens in a normal eye by bending or changing direction to focus the incoming light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens in the eye changes its shape to adjust the focus, allowing the eye to properly see objects at different distances.


What type of lens is the lens of your eye?

The lens in the human eye is a convex lens, but it is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can assume a more spherical shape. This is at the heart of the ability of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.

How does the lens feel in the eye?

The lens in the eye does not have nerve cells, so it does not feel any sensation. It is a transparent structure that helps to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye.
