of the pupil by contraction or rela-
tion of its muscle.
 The crystalline lens –
behind the pupil. A clear convex
Structure. It can focus on objects at
different distances by changing its
shape
 The ciliary muscle –
attached to the crystalline lens
and responsible for changing the
shape of the lens when focusing
on objects at different distances.
 The retina –
is the inner surface of the eye.
it is consist of light – sensitive
rods and cones.
