A 75 year old Black female comes to you, her ophthalmologist, complaining that she is "not able to see" and her "glasses just don't work as they used to". During the fundoscopic exam, you give up because you cannot find the vessels. An opaque mass is in the way. You explain to your patient that her glasses will not help her vision because she has bilateral cataracts (opacity of the optical lens). This condition occurs with normal aging, long term corticosteroid use, or may present in early childhood as a result of abnormal sugar metabolism. What are two characteristics that allow the lens to remain transparent?
low water content and avascularity membranous labyrinth and vestibule canal of Schlemm and high water content avascularity and choroid
