[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2457136, member: 216415"] One thing I have discovered which might have a bearing on it, is that 70% of the focusing of the eye is done by the cornea and 30% by the lens. The lens and the main part of the eyeball seem to be sealed but the cornea is continuously filled with fluid (the aqueous humor) by the ciliary body behind it. I would still like to find out how this works from someone who really knows but I think it is more likely to be happening in the cornea. At least the cornea has fluid flowing into it, which no doubt contains glucose and if that changed its shape for some reason it would certainly change focus. Incidentally I also found out that the cornea is responsible for short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. Presbyopia, the need for reading glasses after the age of 45 or so, is due to hardening of the lens. [/QUOTE]
