Lens - Lasik Term and Glossary

With respect to ophthalmology, the lens is a convex -shaped, elastic, crystalline entity attached to the muscular ciliary body by elastic fibers that contract or expand the lens so that it can focus on objects at varying distances. fu this manner, the lens "fine tunes" the focus of the light rays refracted by the cornea so that a sharp, clear and colorful image is focused on the retina. The lens of the eye is often compared to the lens of a camera.
