What kind of lens is present in the human eye?


The convex lens is present in the human eye.

Explanation

Lens or the eye-lens is a convex lens made of transparent, soft, and elastic tissues like a jelly made of proteins, that control the formation of an image on the retina. It is connected with the ciliary muscles that accommodate the eye lens, which means, it changes the shape of the lens to focus the light rays coming from near or distant objects on the retina.

Convex Lens $-$ It is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves outwards. In other words, it is thick across the middle and thin at the upper and lower edges, because of which the light that enters the lens, gets focused, or converged. Due to this effect, it is also known as a positive lens or a converging lens.
