From: A computer model of lens structure and function predicts experimental changes to steady state properties and circulating currents

Figure 6

Effect of reducing Na + pump rate on net current density. 3D representation of the predicted net current density patterns obtained for solving the model using temperatures of (A) 310, (B) 300, and (C) 280°K as boundary conditions. The numbers on the colour-bar are in A/cm2 units. D: 2D profiles of the change in current density at the surface of the lens going in a circumferential direction from posterior pole (−Pi/2) to anterior pole (Pi/2) expressed as a function of the angle form the equator (0) extracted from the 3D plots (A-C) created by solving the model using temperatures of 310 (), 300 (■), and 280°K (▲).
