Question 46
Which part of the eye is responsible for controlling the amount of light that enters the eye?

Lens
Pupil
Cornea
Question 47
What is the main function of the retina in the process of vision?

Question 49
How does the cornea and lens work together to focus light onto the retina, and what might happen if one of these parts is damaged?
Both parts equally refract light and any damage will result in complete blindness.
The cornea provides most of the eye's focusing power, while the lens fine-tunes focus; damage can result in blurred or distorted vision.
The lens alone focuses light, and corneal damage will only affect color perception.
The lens provides most of the focusing, while the cornea is mainly for protection; damage to either part won’t affect vision.
