The purpose of the lens is to project a sharply focused, undistorted image of the visual
surround onto the neural retina. The first pre-requisite, therefore, is that the tissue should be …

48 TARDIEU & DELAYE lens focuses light to form images on the retina, enabled to do so by
its high refractive index and its transparency. The lens is able to accommodate quickly …

Past studies have identified posttranslational modifications of human lens proteins occurring
during cataract formation, and have also demonstrated that protein–protein interactions exist …

The transmission of light has been studied in tissue-cultured lenses of albino rabbits. The
interaction of light with matter can be resolved into the two processes of absorption and …

Past studies have established that the cornea like the lens abundantly expresses a few
water-soluble enzyme/proteins in a taxon specific fashion. Based on these similarities it has …

The mammalian lens generates an internal microcirculation that maintains transparency in
the avascular lens. Significant progress has been made in characterizing the membrane …

The perception of the lens changed remarkably during the career of David Maurice. The
early view was that it was an inert sack of protein that assisted the cornea in focusing light on …

In its normal state, the eye lens is transparent despite the presence in the cell cytoplasm of
high concentrations of proteins, the crystalline, which, a priori, could be expected to scatter …

The optical properties of the ocular lens are important to overall vision quality. As a
transparent biological tissue, the lens contributes to the overall and dynamic focussing …

The primary function of the lens resides in its transparency and ability to focus light on the
retina. These require both that the lens cells contain high concentrations of densely packed …
