Biochemical researches in age related cataract.
OBJECTIVE
To comparatively evaluate the biochemical profile in normal human lenses with capsule and in stages of age related opaque lenses without capsule.


METHODS
The study included 3 groups of lenses with transparent structure, mature and incipient cataract.


RESULTS
The results were for 25 biochemical investigations.


CONCLUSIONS
Multiple biochemical mechanisms contribute to the progressive loss of transparency of the lens.
