How does the focus in our eyes work?

721 views

I was looking out the window today and noticed how easily I could transition between focusing on the window net which blurred out the background and then looking outside which made the net seem nonexistent.

How does this focus work compared to that of a digital camera?

There are small muscles in our eyes that pull on a lense and chance its shape depending on the distance we want to focus at. Basically the muscles stretch the lense and therefore it bends light differently.
