Material and methods: In this study, 15 congenital and 56 senile cataractous lenses obtained post-operative surgery from patients admitted to Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University Hospital, Mansoura, Egypt were investigated. Non-opaque lenses were extracted from infants aging 8 M-2 y-old (n=5) and young adult 20-30 years (n=6) after accident death of 1-4 hours. Medical Research Ethics committee, Egypt, approved the study protocol. A written informed consent had been taken beforehand from all patients or parent of infants to use their extracted lens experimentally after operation. Biochemical analysis was carried out to outline the differences between congenital and senil.. Read More»
