Question 1

What is meant by power of accommodation of the eye?

Power of accommodation of the eye is the ability of the eye lens to focus near and far object clearly on the retina by adjusting the thickness of lens (and hence focal length). The ciliary muscles attached to the lens help the thickening or thinning of lens hence changing its curvature.
