Cataracts due to repeated osmotic insults.
The long-term effect of repeated osmotic insults were investigated and the lenticular changes due to hyperosmosis were described. The results of these experiments demonstrated that subsequent hyperosmotic insults to hamster lenses by exposure of the eye and to rabbit lenses by intracameral injection of hypertonic solution did not cause permanent lenticular damages being completely reversible and not harmful.
