!Eyes - Crystalline Lens
!!Anatomy
The lens is a __transparent biconvex (lentil-shaped) structure__ in the eye between the ((Sensory - Eyes - Iris|iris)) and the ((Sensory - Eyes - Vitreous Body|vitreous body)), that along with the ((Sensory - Eyes - Cornea|cornea))  __helps to refract light__ to be focused on the ((Sensory - Eyes - Retina|retina)). Its elasticity allows the eye to set the required viewing distance (accomodation) which happens through smooth ciliary muscles. The lens is fastened to the ((Sensory - Eyes - Iris|ciliary body)) by __Zonula fibers__.

Inside it's capsule, the lens consists of an elastic cortex and a nucleus. In the cortex, __cells constantly transform to fibers__ laying down on the outside of the lens like the layers of an onion. Supply is via the aquaeous humor in the eye chambers, as the lens lacks blood vessels.

!!Mind
!!!Theme:
Visual Loss of Touch (by distance)

!!!Emotions, Thoughts:
__Emptiness, grief__
*I will never see her again. 
*She is so far away! 
*I fear to lose him completely out of sight. 
*It will never again be as it was. 
*Life has lost it's meaning!

!!!META-Meaning:
*I am emotionally independent and feel a deep connection with my loved ones. 
*My eyes open up for new exciting things every day!

!!Organ
!!!Stress Phase Symptoms:
Painless cell loss. New fiber formation is reduced. Thinning can lead to reduced visual acuity. At the same time, memory loss is often experienced.

!!!Regeneration Phase A
That period is characterized by 2 cellular processes: 
*proliferation produces a temporary opacity of the crystalline lens that can be diagnosed as a __cataract__. 
*Water inclusion, hypersensitivity and enlargement or bending of the lens/__astigmatism__ which creates a squint.

!!!Healing Peak
Short loss of consciousness, blackout

!!!Regeneration Phase B
Normalization. Although the function can completely recover, the opacity becomes stronger with every relapse. Squint can remain after chronic processes

!!!Biological Meaning:
The loss of memory and sensory acuity in stress phase is meant to make it easier to overcome the visual separation.

!!Social
!!!Examples:
*A female patient has a massive disease, which tends to disturb her more and more. Because of that, she has a constant fear that her boyfriend will leave her. She’s foreseeing that he will pack up and leave her. She has a visual separation conflict, caused by the cell reduction (ulcer) in the crystalline lens.
*An elderly man leaves his home and moves to a caring facility. He misses the view from his window and develops a cataract.
*A girl experiences the separation from her kindergarden teacher very emotional. She develops vitiligo and cataract. 

!!Additional Information
!!!Presbyopia
Age-related eye accomodation impairment is seen in connection to rigidity and sclerosis of the lens. This is due to chronic processes where scar tissue has replaced more flexible organ tissue.

!!!Constellations
__Visual Constellation__: Active visual separation conflicts in both hemispheres create paranormal perceptions and hallucinations. 

!!!Differential Diagnosis:
__((Sensory - Eyes - Iris|Iris)) __(Brain Stem +/-) stress (visual chunk or light conflict): hypersensitivity for light, hypertension and possibly cell proliferation; inflammation and cell reduction in regeneration phase.

__((Sensory - Eyes - Cornea|Cornea)) __(Cerebral Cortex -/+): thinning in stress phase (visual separation) and replenishing in regeneration phase, relapses meaning that more and more scar tissue is replacing the functional tissue. Deformation of the cornea can thus be created in both phases, resulting in a squint or myopia.

__((Sensory - Eyes - Retina|Retina ))__(Cerebral Cortex -/+): Ulceration in stress phase (persecution fear, guilt), retina detachment in regeneration phase A, short- or farsightedness as remnant, in recurring processes possibly macula degeneration.

__((Sensory - Eyes - Vitreous Body|Vitreous body ))__(Cerebral Cortex -/+): Decreased intraocular pressure in stress phase (persecution fear), glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure because of healing oedema) in regeneration phase.
