The Use of the Crystalline Lens

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

A convex lens, bends the ray of light which pass through it, so that they meet at a point called a focus. The crystalline lens converges the rays of light which enter the eye, and brings them to a focus on the retina. The healthy lens has a power of changing its convexity so as to adapt itself to near and to distant objects.
