What is the function of the lens?

Answer 1

The lens in our eye is 10x and it's a concave lens. When the light goes through it, the light bends.

Answer 2

The lens is a clear, flexible structure that focuses light onto the back of the eyeball.

The ability of the human eye to "see" is interdependent upon all of its parts. The purpose of the lens is to focus objects near and far to make them clear. The lens, like the lens of a camera, opens and shuts to allow light to reach the retina to focus an image. With age, the lens loses the function to refract light to bring images into focus. Disease can rob the lens of its function to work with light. Many conditions can be corrected with surgery.

The eye, like a camera, is designed in order to get the best possible picture of the world. Through a team effort of the cornea, the iris, the pupil, and the lens, the eye is able to refract, or bend, light rays so that they focus directly on the retina. Here, the visual information can then be translated into nerve impulses to be sent to the visual cortex of the brain.

Answer 3

The lens in the eye helps to focus light onto the retina, which then converts the light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing. This process allows us to see objects clearly at varying distances by adjusting the shape of the lens.

Answer 4

The lens in our eye is 10x and it's a concave lens. When the light goes through it, the light bends.
