title: [The methods for studying the lens].
abstract: The paper reviews the currently available methods for studying the lens. It describes the anatomic and functional features of the lens and the principles of its examination based on biomicroscopy, photorecording, etc. It also depicts quantitative methods for assessing the properties of the lens: the use of multifunctional devices in which the Scheimpflug principle is realized; methods based on the application of ultrasound energy (A-scanning, B-scanning, biomicroscopy).
