Explanation

The ability of the human eye to focus objects on the retina is referred to as the power of accommodation. Accommodation is the process by which the eye can adjust the shape of the lens to change its focal length, allowing it to focus on objects at different distances. This is an important mechanism for clear vision at varying distances, and it is controlled by the ciliary muscles in the eye.
