Why is the lens in your eye more like jelly than glass?

It's because to change focus, the eye distorts the lens and so the lens has to be flexible. In camera lenses, the lens elements are moved back and forth to focus - it's difficult to see how that kind of mechanism could evolve; but the lens distortion system is similar(ish) to the way muscles work.

How the lens change it shape when foucsing on near objects?

The lens changes its shape by becoming more convex (thicker in the middle) when focusing on near objects. This shape change is controlled by ciliary muscles in the eye that pull on the lens to make it rounder, allowing for proper focusing on close-up objects.


A jelly-like material behind the lens that helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball?

The jelly-like material behind the lens of the eye is called the vitreous humor. It helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball, support the retina, and transmit light to the back of the eye for visual processing.

What is the ability to change the shape of the lens to bend light?

The ability to change the shape of the lens to bend light is called accommodation. This process allows the eye to focus on objects at different distances by adjusting the curvature of the lens.

What helps the lens change shape or focus on an object?

The ciliary muscles surrounding the lens help it change shape to focus on objects at different distances. This process is known as accommodation, where the curvature of the lens is adjusted to bring objects into focus on the retina.


What is effect of contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle?

change in shape of lens.
