Question
Write scientific reason.
Adults need bifocal lens spectacle.
Advertisements
Solution
- The ability of the ciliary muscles near the eye lens to change the focal length of the lens decreases with age.
- As a result, sometimes adults suffer from both nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Therefore, adults need bifocal lens spectacle.
