The lens has a very important function for the eye: similar to the lens of a camera, this lens placed inside the eyeball has the task of focusing on the retina the light that exceeds the cornea. We therefore speak of cataracts. when - due to trauma, old age, solar radiation or metabolic pathologies - the lens loses its transparency with a marked reduction in vision.
