Understanding How the Human Eye Adjusts to Different Distances

The video explains the power of accommodation in the human eye, focusing on how the ciliary muscles adjust the lens's curvature to change its focal length. This adjustment allows the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. The video also discusses the limits of accommodation, such as the near point and the far point, which define the range within which the eye can see clearly. For a normal eye, the near point is about 25 centimeters, and the far point is at infinity.
