Answer:

aphakic or Ultraviolet vision

Step-by-step explanation:

Human eye lens enables normal by filtering out harmful UV rays. In absence of lens of eye, a person can see ultraviolet light. A lens is responsible for only 30 percent of vision of a human, hence even if a lens is removed a person can see up to a large extent. In surgical terms, the vision of eye in absence of an eye lens is termed as aphakic.

There are certain animals like reptiles, fish, rats etc which can also see UV rays

Step-by-step explanation:

Eyes are one of the sensory organs of the human body which allows humans to see.

The humans can see because the visible light can enter humans through eyes. The eyes contain many structures which allows the entry of the light and eye lens is one of them. The lens is convex shaped which can bend the entered light rays and focus them on to the retina of the eye which possesses the photoreceptors.

If a human will lack the eye lens, then the light can enter the eye but since the light rays will not be focused on the retina therefore either a blurred image or no image will be formed. The person will not be able to see through his eyes.
