RESUMEN

Lens transparency is a function of regular cell shape, regular cell volume, minimal extracellular space, and minimal scatter elements. The cellular structure and molecular structure of the lens is reviewed. The importance of the cytoarchitecture especially the sutures, is discussed. The high cholesterol: phospholipid ratio of the lens fiber cell membranes is related to the functions of low permeability, low fluidity, and mechanical stability. Also reviewed are the contributions of the lens crystallins to lens clarity and to lens refractive index. The importance of intracellular and extracellular cation and water concentrations are reviewed. Finally the effects of systemic diseases, oxidation, and light on lens clarity are discussed relative to changes in lens fiber cell cation concentrations
