Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the eye: The eye consists of several key structures including the cornea, lens, retina, iris, and pupil. Each part has a specific function in the process of vision.
Identify the function of the lens: The lens is a transparent, flexible structure located behind the iris and pupil. Its primary role is to focus light onto the retina.
Differentiate the functions of other eye components: The pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye, the retina detects light and color, and the aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary body to maintain intraocular pressure.
Analyze the options given: Compare the function of the lens with the options provided. The lens is not involved in regulating pupil size, producing aqueous humor, or detecting color.
Conclude the correct function: Based on the understanding of the lens's role, determine that its primary function is focusing light onto the retina, which is the correct answer.
