How to use lens in a sentence?

1. Todd Nettleton:

   So Christianity isnt just a foreign religion or a different philosophical lens through which to look at the world, its treason ! If Jesus Christ is Jesus Christ, then by definition, Kim Jong Un isnt. That idea is so dangerous to the regime that it simply can not be allowed to spread inside North Korea.

2. Naeem Aslam:

   This is not the time to panic but to look at this opportunity from a more optimistic lens.

3. John Clements:

   If prescribed by an eye care professional and used as directed, most of these lenses are relatively harmless, the most devastating damage occurs when someone gets these lenses over-the-counter for cosmetic use and abuses the lens. This behavior can lead to severe eye infections that may cause blindness.

4. Marissa Shoji:

   If you have any eye symptoms, things like eye pain, eye redness, decreased vision, please see an ophthalmologist for evaluation, and when you come, please bring anything that could potentially be causing this infection, especially eye drops, contact lenses or contact lens cases.

5. Joanna Rudnick:

   The public zeitgeist right now is trying to expand that lens on beauty, sarah walked through life looking down and we're responsible for making people feel that way. We all have the power to not look at someone like a disease.
