Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the crystalline lens in the human eye?

  • To facilitate the vision of objects with different brightness
  • To facilitate the vision of objects with different colors
  • To facilitate the vision of objects at different distances (correct)
  • To facilitate the vision of objects of different sizes

Which statement best explains the importance of the crystalline lens’ shape change?

  • It aids in distinguishing objects of different sizes.
  • It helps in the perception of colors in varying light conditions.
  • It allows the eye to adjust for glare from bright lights.
  • It enables the eye to see objects that are both far and near. (correct)

What happens to the crystalline lens to enable vision correction for nearby objects?

  • It flattens to accommodate for short distance vision.
  • It thickens to increase optical power. (correct)
  • It elongates to enhance depth perception.
  • It becomes transparent to reduce distortion.

Crystalline lens adjustment

The crystalline lens changes shape to focus light onto the retina for clear vision at various distances.

Why lens shape change?

The lens changes shape to adjust the focus of light for objects at varying distances, ensuring sharp vision.

Lens shape & distance

To see objects close up, the lens becomes thicker; for distant objects, thinner.

Incorrect answer: brightness

Brightness of an object is not affected by the crystalline lens's shape.

Study Notes

Eye Lens

  • The eye has an adjustable lens called the crystalline lens
  • The shape of the crystalline lens is adjusted by muscles
  • The lens adjusting its shape enables the eye to focus on objects at different distances
