摘要: Calcium was first implicated in the cataract process early years of this century when it observed that many human cataractous lenses had very high calcium concentrations compared with clear donor (Adams, 1929). The studies shown not all values, and has recently been confirmed (Duncan Bushell, 1975). An increase lens is accompanied by white, light-scattering opacities, these are often found highly localized regions outer cortex Jacob, 1984). Nuclear brunescence, or nuclear cataract, appears to originate another process, since pure cataracts have near-normal internal levels. In general, sodium together cortical both ions normally distributed (Maraini Mangili, 1973).
