If intraocular pressure rises rapidly due to angle closure glaucoma, which consequence follows regarding lens curvature?

💡 Explanation

Increased intraocular pressure pushes on the lens, flattening its posterior curvature because this reduces the volume and pressure inside the eye. Therefore, the lens posterior curvature decreases, rather than accommodation improving or the ciliary muscle contracting.
