The Crystalline Lens
2015
The human crystalline lens is the second most important refracting element of the eye. The lens functions primarily in accommodative vision. The lens doubles in volume between birth and age 70. Approximately at age 40, the lens loses its ability to accommodate because of loss of pliability, and at age 70 the transparency of the lens is reduced resulting in cataract formation.
