What does capsule of lens mean?
- Capsule of lens
- The lens capsule is a component of the globe of the eye. It is a clear, membrane-like structure composed of collagen IV laminin etc that is quite elastic, a quality that keeps it under constant tension. As a result, the lens naturally tends towards a rounder or more globular configuration, a shape it must assume for the eye to focus at a near distance. The lens capsule is the thickest basement membrane in the body.Normally, the lens capsule serves as a diffusion barrier. It is permeable to low molecular weight compounds but restricts the movement of large colloidal particles.
