Abstract
The lens is a transparent, highly refractive structure located between the pupillary portion of the iris and the vitreous. A cataract is an opacity of the lens causing a reduction of visual function. Ehling (1963) pointed out that morphologically comparable cataracts in mammalian species have very often the same mode of inheritance.Keywords
