What is accommodation?

Accommodation is when your eyes change shape to see things clearly, just like a flexible lens in a camera.

Imagine you're looking at a picture on the wall. Your eyes are like zoom lenses, if the picture is far away, your eyes stretch out a bit to focus on it. If you pick up a toy and bring it close to your face, your eyes squinch in a little so you can see the tiny details.

Your eyes have something called lenses, which are like stretchy balloons inside them. When you look at something far away, these lenses flatten out, kind of like stretching a balloon to make it bigger. When you look at something close, your lenses puff up, like squeezing a balloon to make it smaller.

This change in shape is what makes your eyes see clearly, whether the object is near or far. It's like having a pair of glasses that can zoom in and out automatically!

So, every time you switch from looking at the board in class to reading a book, your eyes are doing a tiny stretch or squeeze, that’s accommodation in action!
