The 17 pages that link to Crystalline lens, each with the reason it gives.

• CataractNarrower topic: Cataracts form when this normally transparent lens becomes cloudy.

• CorneaCompared with: Unlike the cornea, it adjusts its curvature to focus at different distances.

• Refractive errorRelated: Its shape and focusing power help determine whether light reaches the retina sharply.

• HyperopiaRelated: Its shape and focusing capacity influence whether hyperopic blur can be overcome.

• Aqueous humorRelated: Aqueous humor nourishes the lens, another largely avascular tissue.

• AccommodationBroader topic: Its changing curvature supplies the optical power adjustment at the heart of accommodation.

• PresbyopiaBroader topic: Age-related stiffening of this lens is the main cause of presbyopia.

• AstigmatismRelated: Unequal lens curvature can contribute to internal astigmatism.

• Slit-lamp examinationBroader topic: Examination through the pupil can locate opacity within the lens.

• Cataract surgeryBroader topic: Its clouding causes a cataract, and its removal creates the need for optical replacement.

• Congenital cataractNarrower topic: Congenital cataract is opacity within this normally transparent structure.

• EyeBroader topic: It fine-tunes focus through accommodation.

• Ectopia lentisNarrower topic: Ectopia lentis is displacement of this normally centered structure.

• Human eyeBroader topic: Its changing curvature enables accommodation across viewing distances.

• Vitreous bodyCompared with: The lens refracts light and changes focus; the vitreous mainly transmits light and supports the posterior eye.

• Allvar GullstrandRelated: He analyzed the lens’s optical properties and role in accommodation.

• AphakiaNarrower topic: Its absence defines aphakia and removes a major source of the eye’s refractive power.
