Structural aspects of eye lens polyribosomes

Biological glass: structural determinants of eye lens transparency.

The purpose of the lens is to project a sharply focused, undistorted image of the visual surround onto the neural retina. The first pre-requisite, therefore, is that the tissue should be transparent. Despite the presence of remarkably high levels of protein, the lens cytosol remains transparent as a result of short-range-order interactions between the proteins. At a cellular level, the programm...

Prediction of Refractive Outcome of Second Eye with Partial Adjustment of Intraocular Lens Power of the First Eye

Background and Objective: This study aimed at comparing the results of refractive cataract surgery in patients undergoing sequential surgeries in both eyes. Considering the preoperative refraction and final refraction of the first eye, it is possible to correct the refrative result of cataract surgery using the adjustment of the second eye intraocular lens (IOL) power. Materials and Methods: T...

eye-lens protein y-crystallin

Although ubiquitous, no universal function can be confidently ascribed to glutathione. The eye lens maintains higher concentrations of reduced glutathione within its cells than do other tissues (Waley, 1969). The ratio of protein thiol to reduced glutathione in most species of lens is about 5:1 (Kuck et al., 1982). The requirement for glutathione in maintaining a transparent lens is indicated b...
