Abstract
As one studies the conditions of the eyes and blood vessels of elderly persons, especially of men above the age of 60 years, he becomes more and more convinced that certain changes are taking place in their tissues and organs with great uniformity. This uniformity is so pronounced as to suggest an inter-relation between these changes or the dependence of each on a common cause. These changes are incident to or at least associated with age, and are probably always degenerative. The purpose is to show by statistics how uniform these changes are and their relation to each other,if they have any.It is desirable to emphasize the importance of age in its relation to cataract. The relation of age to blood pressure,if any exists, is not close and intimate. This will be shown later by statistics. We are concerned at this time with the changes of age
