When bending light rays to focus them on the retina the two structure involved are the air-cornea interface which accounts for about two-thirds of the light-bending process and the lens which accounts for the remaining third but also makes the necessary adjustments to allow the eye to focus on objects at different distances.
The three structures involved in vision are the cornea, which helps focus light onto the retina; the lens, which further refines the focus of light onto the retina; and the retina, which contains photoreceptor cells that convert light signals into electrical impulses for processing by the brain.
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.
Light travels through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, and finally reaches the retina in the eye. These structures and fluids help focus and transmit light onto the photoreceptor cells in the retina for visual processing.
This process that produces a focused image on the retina through the bending of light rays is called refraction. To bring near and far objects into focus, it is necessary for the eye lens to make an adjustment through this process as light rays enter the retina.
The process of sharpening the focus of light on the retina is known as accommodation. Accommodation is primarily carried out by the lens of the eye, which changes its shape to focus light rays onto the retina, ensuring clear vision for objects at different distances.

The bending of light rays so they focus on the retina is called refraction.

The cornea and lens of the eye are the primary light-bending media that help focus incoming light onto the retina. The cornea bends light as it enters the eye, while the lens further adjusts its focus. Together, these structures ensure that the image formed on the retina is sharp and clear.
A lens in glasses refracts light, bending it in a way that helps to focus the light onto the retina of the eye. This can correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism by changing how the light is focused on the retina.
The cornea and the lens of the eye work together to focus light onto the retina. The cornea helps in the initial bending of light, while the lens adjusts its shape to fine-tune the focus so that a clear image is formed on the retina.
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. This bending allows light to focus on the retina of your eye, creating an image that your brain interprets as what you see. The cornea and lens of your eye work together to refract light onto the retina, allowing you to perceive the world around you.
The cornea and the lens are the two transparent structures of the eye that work together to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye. They help to refract or bend light rays so that they can be properly processed by the retina for vision.
Onto your retina. Onto your retina.
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.
For people who are farsighted, images come into focus behind the retina; for people who are nearsighted, images come into focus in front of the retina.
The refraction of light by the cornea and lens of the eye makes it possible for an image to form on the retina. Without the formation of an image, it would be possible for the retina to detect the presence or absence of light, but not shapes or objects.
