Question

5. What do ciliary muscles do to enable us to see distant objects clearer?​

Answer 1

When the ciliary muscles are contract, the curvature of the eye lens increases and the eye lens becomes thicker. Consequently, the focal length of the eye lens decreases. This enables us to see nearby objects clearly

Answer 2

Answer:

The change in the curvature of the eye lens can thus change its focal length. When the muscles are relaxed, the lens becomes thin. Thus, its focal length increases. This enables us to see distant objects clearly. When you are looking at objects closer to the eye, the ciliary muscles contract. This increases the curvature of the eye lens. The eye lens then becomes thicker. Consequently, the focal length of the eye lens decreases. This enables us to see nearby objects clearly.
