The lens of the eye thickens or thins to focus incoming light. When focusing on nearby objects, the ciliary muscles contract, causing the lens to become thicker and more curved, which increases its refractive power. Conversely, when focusing on distant objects, the muscles relax, allowing the lens to thin and flatten, reducing its curvature. This adjustment enables clear vision at varying distances.

How does birth control work to prevent pregnancy?

Birth control works by using hormones to prevent ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. It also thickens cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thins the lining of the uterus to make it less likely for a fertilized egg to implant. These mechanisms work together to prevent pregnancy.
