2.87 Focusing

2.87 understand the function of the eye in focusing near and distant objects, and in responding to changes in light intensity


- Most of the bending of the light rays are done by the cornea.
- The shape of the lens is controlled by the ciliary muscles


Looking at a distant object:
- the ciliary muscles relax
- the suspensory ligaments tightens
- the lens is pulled into a thin shape
- the distant object is then focused on the retina


Looking at a near object:
- the ciliary muscles contract
- the suspensory ligaments slackens
- the elastic lens goes fatter
- the near object is focused on the retina


In bright lights: the circular muscles contract and the radial muscles relax --> the pupil becomes smaller and less light enters the eyes


In dim lights: the circular muscles relax and the radical muscles contract ---> the pupil becomes bigger and more light enters the eyes
