Ways to tell them apart:
"Lens" is the correct spelling in all contexts, such as when talking about camera lenses or contact lenses.
"Lense" is an incorrect or alternative spelling, but it is not widely accepted in formal writing.
If you remember that "lens" has 4 letters and is the standard, widely accepted form, you can avoid using the unnecessary extra e.
Think of "lens" as similar to "fence," which also has no e after n.
Dont be confused by other words with s followed by e; in this case, stick to the simpler version without the e'.
