No ... a lens is the closest that we get to the lens of the eye.

Funny thing is that the skin around my joints bunches up and wrinkles.  
It doesn't fold up in nice even bellows like folds.  The wrinkling is much
more akin to the natural effect of giving some slack to a piece of cloth,
uneven folds at relatively random intervals.  My skin also seems to have
some resilience that allows it to expand and contract a bit.  Few bellows
do that either.  Your body must be quite a bit different than mine.

I agree that there are some fundamentally optimal structures in nature, but
I can't yet say that I'd agree that a bellows is necessarily one of them.
