| radii lentis | 9 to 12 faint lines on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens that radiate from the poles toward the equator; they mark the lines along which the ends of lens fibres abut. Synonym: lens stars, lens sutures. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vortex lentis | One of the stellar figures on the surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: vortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coloboma lentis | A segment of the lens equator devoid of zonular fibres, giving the appearance of a notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polus anterior lentis | The central point on the anterior surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: polus anterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polus posterior lentis | The central point on the posterior surface of the lens. Synonym: polus posterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortex lentis | The softer, more superficial part of the lens of the eye that encloses the central part or nucleus; its refractive power is less than that of the nucleus. Synonym: cortex lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stella lentis hyaloidea | The posterior pole of the lens. See: radii lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stella lentis iridica | The anterior pole of the lens. See: radii lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia lentis | That which constitutes the lens of the eye, composed of a nucleus and a cortex and covered by an epithelium. Synonym: substantia lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus lentis | The core or inner dense portion of the lens of the eye. Synonym: nucleus of lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ectopia lentis | Congenital displacement of the lens resulting from defective zonule formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epithelium lentis | The layer of cuboidal cells lying on the anterior surface of the crystalline lens inside the lens capsule. at the equator the cells elongate and give rise to the lens fibres. Synonym: epithelium lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equator lentis | The periphery of the lens lying between the two layers of the ciliary zonule. Synonym: equator lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterior lentis | The anterior surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: facies anterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies posterior lentis | The posterior surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: facies posterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
