The "eyeball" doesn't have a focal length, any more than the body of a camera or the tube of
a telescope have. It's the lenses (or mirrors) in the eye, camera, and telescope that have focal
lengths.
In the eye, the focal length of the lens changes when the shape of the lens changes ... becoming
flatter or thicker in the center. That change is accomplished by muscles around the circular edge
of the lens. They stretch the lens to flatten it, and relax to thicken it, when you shift your focus
to longer or shorter distances.

What is the difference in camera and in human eye in the method of focusing?
