Thinnest pa of lens is?
Posterior pole REF: Cataract and refractive surgery: Volume 1; Volume 1 by Thomas Kohnen (Dr. med.), Thomas Kohnen, Douglas D. Koch page 134, Age-Related Changes Of The Human Eye by Carlo Cavallotti, Luciano Cerulli page 68 In all age groups, the thinnest pa of the lens capsule was found at the posterior pole. The back or posterior capsule is thinner, and thinnest at the pole. The anterior capsule is the thicker and stronger of the two, its center being its thickest pa, while the center of the posterior capsule is its thinnest pa. Cataract formation at the posterior pole of the lens can be explained by a missing epithelial barrier and by the thinnest pa of the lens capsule.
