Abstract
A survey of 9 studies indicates to what extent the epidemiology of [human] senile cataract can be represented by Gompertz plots. These are suitable separately for men and women and to enables discrimination between inborn and environmental influences. Further support is obtained for the view that myopia and cataract may linked, and attention is drawn to the potentially noxious effect of (UV) light.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
