The lens operates a microcirculation system that maintains lens homeostasis. Spatial differences in cellular physiology generates the lens microcirculation. Lens physiology is linked to the active maintenance of its optical properties. Failure of the microcirculation can explain the onset of presbyopia and cataract.
