The lens of the eye is made up of tens of thousands of fine fibers (each a bag of clear protein solution) packed closely together. The living lens continually adds outside fibers and packs old cells in its nucleus throughout life, ultimately increasing its volume by a factor of 3 in the older eye. The refractive index of the fibers differs from that of the The reader may have been led astray in thinking that the eye has no defense against normal light scattering. In fact, it does. For example, the birefringent capacity of the collagen fibers in the cornea, in combination with the birefringence of the fovea, may cancel out some annoying glare caused by light scattering through a process known as destructive interference, somewhat akin to the way polarizing sunglasses cancel annoying glare.
