Which of the following is NOT needed for the mechanism of accommodation in the eye?

A
Attachment of ciliary fibers to the lens capsule
B
Contraction of the ciliary muscle
C
Change in shape of the ciliary body
D
Increase in tension on the lateral margins of the lens
High-Yield Explanation
This is the correct answer to this question because this is the only thing that does not have to occur during the process of accommodation. Indeed, accommodation involves a DECREASE in the tension on the lateral margins of the eye, allowing the lens to relax into a rounder, more biconvex shape.
