To act as a true lens that can focus light, the lens of the eye must remain transparent for a lifetime. Yet the eye lens is not a piece of glass, but a growing, living tissue made up of cells. How can such a tissue stay clear, when the cells must be nourished, and when they contain organelles and chromosomes that would tend to obscure light?

The lenses in your eyes are dead cells that filled with protein before migrating to their assigned spot and dying. The truth is more interesting than this made-up stuff.

Is that like a cemetary in a moving swamp? Or does the driver and the hearst just fizzle away? :-)
