When the ciliary muscles are relaxed, the eye lens becomes thin, the focal length increases, and the distant objects are clearly visible to the eyes. To see the nearby objects clearly, the ciliary muscles contract making the eye lens thicker. Thus, the focal length of the eye lens decreases and the nearby objects become visible to the eyes. Hence, the human eye lens is able to adjust its focal length to view both distant and nearby objects on the retina. This ability is called the power of accommodation of the eyes.

The ability of the eye to focus the distant objects as well as the nearby objects on the retina by changing the focal length of the eye lens is called power of accommodation.

Power of accommodation is the ability of the eye lens to focus near and far objects clearly on the retina by adjusting its focal length with the help of ciliary muscles.
