Aging changes in the optical elements of the eye

1 April 1996 Aging changes in the optical elements of the eye

Barbara K. Pierscionek

Abstract

The cornea and the lens are the optical elements of the eye, responsible for correctly focusing light rays on the retina. As the eye ages, both the cornea and the lens undergo structural changes, some of which affect function. This review deals with such age-related changes and any functional manifestations arising from them.
