Lenti-: Opening your eyes to the anatomy of the lens

The lens, also known as the lens, plays an important role in the functioning of our vision. It is a transparent structure located behind the iris of the eye. The lens performs the task of focusing light onto the retina, allowing us to see the world in a clear and crisp image.

The name "lenti-" comes from the Latin word "lens", which means a lentil grain, shaped like a lens. This term is used to refer to the anatomical structure of the eye.

The lens has the amazing ability to change its shape and, therefore, its optical power. This is called accommodation and allows us to see objects at different distances. When we look at distant objects, the lens becomes flatter to focus light on the retina. And when focusing on near objects, the lens becomes more convex.

However, over time, lens function may deteriorate. This leads to common problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia. Myopia occurs when the lens focuses light too tightly, resulting in blurry vision of distant objects. Farsightedness, on the other hand, occurs when the lens cannot focus light enough and the image of nearby objects becomes blurry. Presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness, occurs due to the loss of elasticity of the lens, making it difficult to accommodate when looking at close objects.

Modern medicine has a variety of treatments for these problems, including wearing glasses or contact lenses, as well as surgical procedures such as phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.

The lens is an incredibly important part of our eye that provides clear and precise vision. Understanding its structure and function helps in the diagnosis and treatment of vision disorders. Thanks to modern advances in medicine, lens problems can be successfully treated, allowing people to enjoy the world around them without restrictions.

Believe it or not, you are about to see a word that is unfamiliar to you. You don’t have to make a polemic about this, because we are talking about a lenticular technique for visualizing information, which also goes by the common name of a hologram. And if anything, it doesn’t blow our minds. In this picture we can see a bunch of mushrooms frozen in
