Ida Mann 1 completed her treatise on embryogenesis of the eye and the crystalline lens in 1957. She described the stages of development of the human lens as follows: “It will be seen that the first indication of its position is given by the thickening known as the lens plate, which soon develops the lens pit on its surface. This deepens to form the lens vesicle, at first attached to the surface by the lens stalk, but subsequently becoming separated. The cells of the anterior walls of the lens vesicle form the subcapsular epithelium, while those of the posterior wall elongate to form the primary lens fibers, which fill the cavity of the lens vesicle, and constitute the central region, recognized as the most translucent part of the adult lens and known to slit-lamp workers as the central dark interval. Growth of lens fibers does not cease by 25 years or so. Priestly Smith has shown indeed that it continues throughout life, even into old age.”
