Mechanical Properties of Eye Lens Cortical and Nuclear Membranes and the Whole Lens
The significantly higher stiffness of the CM and NM compared to the stiffness of the whole lens suggests that slight modulation in CM and NM composition may play a crucial role in altering the overall lens stiffness. Furthermore, the NMs containing CBDs were less stiff than CMs without CBDs, suggesting that CBDs decrease lens membrane stiffness and possibly protect against lens hardening and presbyopia.
