List and briefly describe the three processes that are used by the eye to form a clear image of object on the retina

What will be an ideal response


1 ) Refraction involves bending light rays as they move through different media in the eye to eventually form a focused inverted image on the central fovea, 2 ) Accommodation of the lens for near/distance vision involves changing the shape of lens using the ciliary muscle to help focus light rays on retina, and 3 ) Constriction of pupil involves an ANS reflex that helps prevent scattering of light through edges of lens.
