If you have a question about this talk, please contact John Cook .

This lecture will describe vision starting from the perspective of the artist and moving to the fascinating science that underpins how the eye captures light. The changes in the lens as it develops and ages as well as the effects of potential novel anti-cataract medications will be shown. These have been measured using advanced methods at the SPring-8 synchrotron and have provided insights into the lens that had not been possible with previous techniques. Aspects of the underlying links between structure and function of the lens remain a mystery and these will also be presented.

More details, including the Eventbrite link to book attendance or Zoom, are on the CSAR website .
