Maybe you can help me with just one thing, Knotlob. What is "modulus"? I saw it many times in the article, and it sounds like something important, but it never defines this word. Maybe you can explain it.
Thanks.

I think modulus in this case is probably referring to Modulus of Elasticity or some similar property, but I read it as the relative stiffness/flexibility of the lens.
