Detailed Solution

The property to focus on distant and nearby objects by adjusting the focal point is known as the power of accommodation.
The human eye can modify its focal length by altering the lens's shape. To alter the curvature of the lens, the ciliary muscles contract and relax. The ciliary muscles contract when the object is positioned close by, which causes the lens to become more curved. This causes the lens's focal length to get shorter while its curvature rises. The ciliary muscles relax when a distant object is present, flattening the lens. As a result, the lens's curvature is reduced, and its focal length is subsequently increased. The eye's capacity for accommodation is known as accommodation power.
