Question
Tell whether the following statement is True or False.The lens flattens to focus on close objects and bulges to focus on far objects.

Answer
False.The lens bulges to focus on close objects and flattens to focus on far objects. This is possible due to the refractive ability of the lens.

Question
Tell whether the following statement is True or False. In 3rd nerve paralysis, the eyes cannot look down when turned inward.
