Ciliary muscles are circular muscle which accommodates the eye lens, means it changes the thickness of the eye-lens while focussing, by changing its shape and thereby enable us to see objects that are near or far away.

Presbyopia is the defect of vision that arises due to gradual weakening of the ciliary muscles. To see the objects clearly, convex lenses are required by the person suffering from this defect.

(b) The teacher displayed a caring and concerned nature about the studies of Akshay. Salman displayed a caring, kindness and helpful nature towards his classmate Akshay. 


(c) Akshay can express his gratitude towards Salman and the teacher by going to the doctor to get his eyesight checked.
