Illustration exploring the anatomy of an eye

Crystalline Lens, illustrated by Geometric Medical

The crystalline lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.

The lens, by changing shape, functions to change the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects at various distances, allowing a sharp image of the object of interest to be formed on the retina. This adjustment of the lens is known as accommodation. It is similar to the focusing of a photographic camera via the movement of its lens.
