(a)
* If the distance of the object from the eye is increased, ciliary muscles relax, lens becomes thin and so the focal length increases (1 Mark)
* If the distance between the object from the eye is decreased, the ciliary muscles contract, lens becomes thick and so the focal length decreases. (1 Mark)

(b) In myopic eye image is formed in front of the retina. A concave lens / diverging lens of suitable power will bring the image back on to the retina. (2 Marks)
