The lens of the eye focuses light rays as they enter the eye. Muscles around the lens react to light and change the shape of the lens by expanding or contracting. Certain diseases or injury to the lens of the eye can result in blurry vision. According to the paragraph, the lens of the eye is used to

  1. Distort images

  2. Expand light rays

  3. Focus light

  4. Magnify objects

The correct answer is: Distort images

The lens of the eye acts to focus light rays as they enter the eye. Muscles around the lens react to light and change the shape of the lens by expanding or contracting. This process allows for a clear image to be projected onto the retina. Therefore, the lens of the eye is not used to distort images, expand light rays, or magnify objects. These functions are not mentioned in the paragraph and are incorrect interpretations of the role of the lens.
