Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the lens of the eye will be more spherical when the ciliary muscles are contracted due to tension. When the relaxation occurs in the ciliary muscle , the zonular tension is increased, that causes the lens to be flatten and leads to decrease in optical power while on the other hand, when the ciliary muscle contracts, the tension in the equatorial zonular is increased which causes the central lens surface to become more rounded that leads to increases central optical power.
