The process by which the eye lens changes shape to focus light on the retina is called ________.

A) accommodation
B) hyperopic
C) myopic
D) astigmatism

Accommodation

The process by which the eye changes optical power to focus on an object at different distances, primarily by altering the curvature of the lens.

Hyperopic

Pertaining to farsightedness, a condition where distant objects are seen more clearly than close ones due to the light rays focusing behind the retina.

Astigmatism

A common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, resulting in blurred or distorted vision.

  • Comprehend the mechanism of accommodation and its significance in directing light onto the retina.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Accommodation is the process by which the eye lens changes its shape to focus light on the retina. The other options, hyperopic, myopic, and astigmatism are refractive errors that can affect the focusing of light on the retina, but they do not describe the process by which the lens changes shape.
