Insights into the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms mediating the longevity of the transparent optics of the eye lens

In the human eye, a transparent cornea and lens combine to form the “refracton” to focus images on the retina. This requires the refracton to have a high refractive index “n,” mediated largely by extracellular collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma and the highly concentrated crystallin proteins in...
