Abstract
Serum-Ca is appreciably raised in patients with senile cataract. The average Ca content of cataractous lenses (which has a wide variation) is much greater than that of normal lenses, while the K content is much less. The question is still open as to whether the increase in blood Ca is a primary factor in the actual production of opacity in the lens.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
