Solution and Explanation
The constant size of the eye prevents changes in image distance. Therefore, when an object is moved further from the eye, the image distance within the eye remains fixed. This adjustment is achieved by a modification in the focal length of the eye lens. The eye lens's focal length adapts to ensure the image consistently forms on the retina.
