title: [A table of senile forms of cataract. Clinical picture, prognosis, biochemistry and etiology].
abstract: The three important types of age-related senile cataract, namely deep supranuclear cortical cataract, superficial subcapsular cortical cataract (sometimes associated with secondary nuclear cataract), and primary nuclear cataract, are arranged in a table which may be used for quick reference with regard to clinical features - slit lamp findings, age at onset of opacification, rate of progression, and related biochemistry (e.g., ATP content, glutathione content, and the cation pump (K+ greater than Na+] - as well as etiological features. The significance of the table is illustrated on the basis of an important example from the literature ("Sunlight and Human Cataracts").
