There are many factors that contribute to human sight. The lens is used to refract light to be focused on the retina (allowing you to see). It's similar to a camera lens. Removing the lens would be detrimental to eyesight and the eye would not definitely not work properly. As for being able to see ever again, there are surgeries that can correct almost every part of the eye, including the lens. So it's possible to see again, just not very likely without the help of the lens to refract light onto the cornea.
