The human eye functions much like a camera, possessing features analogous to both a lens and an aperture, both of which can adjust.
The lens of the human eye (specifically the crystalline lens and the cornea) changes its shape through a process called accommodation. This change in shape alters the focal length of the lens, allowing the eye to focus on objects at different distances, similar to a zoom lens in a camera. The iris controls the size of the pupil, which acts as the aperture. By changing the pupil size, the eye regulates the amount of light entering the retina, similar to adjusting the aperture size (f-number) on a camera.
