The claim that removing the eye lens allows a person to see ultraviolet color is supported by several sources. Studies and articles describe cases of aphakia (absence of the lens) where individuals gain the ability to perceive ultraviolet light. Web articles such as those from PetaPixel discuss how aphakia enables ultraviolet vision. Additionally, scientific papers on ultraviolet imaging provide contextual support for the claim.
