Question

In a healthy human eye, the focussing is done by the
  1. To and fro movement of the eye-lens
  2. Changing the curvature of the retina
  3. Change in the refractive index of the eye fluid.
  4. Change in the convexity of the lens through ciliary tubes

A
To and fro movement of the eye-lens
B
Changing the curvature of the retina
C
Change in the convexity of the lens through ciliary tubes
D
Change in the refractive index of the eye fluid.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A human eye has a converging lens behind the iris, held by the ciliary muscles. When tension is applied on lens by ciliary muscles, shape (convexity) of the lens changes and image is focussed on retina. These ciliary mucsles form ciliary tube, thus focussing is done by change in the convexity of lena by ciliary tube.
