INSTRUCTION: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
TIME: 1 HR
SECTION A
1. During Acc, contraction of the ciliary muscle shortens ciliary ring and moves towards
the equator of the lens, which theory of acc is this?
2. In an unaccommodated state elasticity of the choroid is stronger than the lens, when
accommodation comes into play, ciliary muscles contract to overcome elasticity of
choroid; this is consistent with which theory of accommodation?
3. Increased curvature of capsule to increasing tension of the zonules; this statement is
consistent with ……. theory of acc?
4. Ciliary muscle contracts, equatorial zonular tension is increased; this is …..theory of
acc?
5. As Ciliary muscle contracts, it forms a pressure gradient causing anterior movement
of lens zonules diaphragm, increasing ant. Central curvature; this is consistent with…
theory of acc?
