Because people know that’s how you spell it when there are two of them (for example, “contact lenses“), they assume you can just take off the “s” and get “lense” for the singular word (like: “contact lense”). Nope – that’s incorrect.

The correct spelling for the piece of glass in your spectacles is: “lens” with no “e” at the end. (Just as the word “truely” shouldn’t have an “e.”) One way to remember this is that writing the word with four letters, “L-e-n-s,” makes it look like a face wearing glasses with lenses, as you can see in my illustration, below! (Sorry — it’s a little weird-looking, but hopefully will help the rule stick in your mind.)

First, some background. My name is Ms. Marshall, and I’ve been an English teacher for nearly twenty years. I’m also an artist, so every illustration on this site is hand-drawn with love – including the recent “Skiddish vs. Skittish” tutorial. On to today’s lesson!

Now you know: In the debate about how to write the word for the glass that a camera uses to take in a picture is “lens,” not “lense.” The correct spelling for the plural of “lens” is “lenses.” English has many sneaky “E” placements, as we saw with “Sence vs. Since!”
