How does an eye lens make an adjustment?
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 should the lens of a normal eye be fatter to look at near objects and thinner to look at distant objects?
The muscles around the lens of your eye push and pull it thicker and thinner to focus your eye on an object depending on the distance from your eye to the object. The focal length of a fat lens is shorter than the focal length of a thin lens (the light rays are bent more sharply) When you focus binoculars, you are adjusting their focal length
