Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ciliary muscle is responsible for changing the shape of the lens, which is important for focusing light onto the retina. The iris controls the size of the pupil but does not change the shape of the lens. The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye, but it does not have the ability to change the shape of the lens. The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain and does not play a role in changing the shape of the lens.
