Pathologico-optic approach to cataract and lens

Documenta Ophthalmologica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

From the weight of the lenses of patients with senile cataract, ultrasonic measurements of the eyes of patients with acute diabetic refractive changes, and calculations on the basis of Legrand's theoretical eye, it appears that the conclusion can be drawn that these refractive changes are due to alterations in the refractive indices of the lens. We would like to express our gratitude to Sisters M. Krottje and A. Kaastra, theatre sisters in the Diakonessenhuis in Leeuwarden, for their cooperation.
