DESCRIPTION:This lecture will describe vision starting from the perspectiv
 e of the artist and moving to the fascinating science that underpins how t
 he 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 s
 hown. These have been measured using advanced methods at the SPring-8 sync
 hrotron and have provided insights into the lens that had not been possibl
 e with previous techniques. Aspects of the underlying links between struct
 ure and function of the lens remain a mystery and these will also be prese
 nted.\n\nMore details\, including the Eventbrite link to book  attendance
