摘要: PURPOSE. Vitrectomy is associated with the rapid progression of nuclear cataracts. This study was conducted to test hypothesis that age-related liquefaction vitreous gel may also be lens opacification. METHODS. Lenses from eye bank eyes were graded for nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular opacities, amount liquid measured. RESULTS. Nuclear sclerosis (NS) grade, percent liquefaction, age all correlated highly (P 0.0001). After adjustment made age, correlation between NS 0.37 0.0001), after 0.57 stratified into groups, found highest in donors aged 51 70. Cortical opacities increased but scores these cataract types did not significantly correlate liquefaction. CONCLUSIONS. Loss during aging increases risk Preservation or replacement protect patients cataract. (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2004;45:77‐ 85) DOI:10.1167/iovs.030820
