Morphology
The phrase combines 'through' (across/via) with 'lens' used metaphorically as a way of seeing or analyzing, so its meaning 'considering from a particular perspective' is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional metaphor (seeing = perspective) is common cross-linguistically and follows a standard English pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase through the lens of comes from the simple image of a camera or a pair of glasses: when you look through a lens you focus on one detail and the whole scene can look different. So, it means 'considering something from a particular point of view'.
