[edit] Pole?
This showed up recently at Cardinal point (optics)#Surface_vertices but I find no mention of it here at Lens (anatomy):
In anatomy, the surface vertices of the eye's lens are called the anterior and posterior poles of the lens[1].
Is it accurate? Is it important information that should be included here as well? Ewlyahoocom 14:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
That isn't the only thing missing from this article. I think that this is a topic that deserves much more detail. (64.59.249.107 05:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Diagram?
As I was reading this text I noticed an error on the second diagram. The light's path is incorrect. Do correct me if I am wrong? Miapowell 00:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- They're both wrong. Refraction happens on front and back surfaces. -lysdexia 22:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birefringence?
I have heard that the lens has birefringent characteristics. Does this introduce multifocii, or at least dual focii, into the optics? If so does this enhance the visual ability and/or the ability of the eye to maintain its focal control? Sapoty 06:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 8/2007 rework
I rewrote some paragraphs, added some info on structure, function, and disease. However, this article still needs more info on development and supply of the lens with nourishment.
