Accommodation occurs when the shape of the lens is changed, allowing for focusing on objects at different distances. This is accomplished by the contraction or relaxation of the ciliary muscle which causes the lens to become more or less rounded, depending on the distance of the object being viewed. The cornea plays a role in focusing light onto the lens, but it does not change shape as part of the accommodation process.
