When being interviewed, a 50-year-old patient says that he cannot see the newspaper as well as he used to. You know that vision changes from near to far because:
1. the ciliary muscle changes the pupil size.
2. the lens of the eye changes shape as a muscle contracts and relaxes.
3. of nearsightedness.
4. of clouding of the vitreous humor.

Accommodation or adjustment of the lens by contraction and expansion of the ciliary mus-cle allows us to see far or near.
