Relating to both the lens capsule and the lens itself within the eye.
From capsulo- (capsule) combined with lenticular (from Latin lens, 'lentil,' because the eye lens is lentil-shaped). This ophthalmologic term describes the structural relationship between the capsule and lens.
In eye surgery, surgeons must be incredibly careful with the capsulolenticular structures because the thin capsule is what holds the lens in place—if it tears, the whole focusing system can fail.
