PURPOSE: It is well known that acuity slowly decreases in the later decades of life. We wish to determine the extent by which 4-year longitudinal acuity changes can be accounted for by changes in optical quality, or combination of optical quality metrics and of age between 50 and 80 years.METHODS: H

Ionizing radiation is a well-known but little understood risk factor for lens opacities. Until recently, cataract development was considered to be a deterministic effect occurring at lens doses exceeding a threshold of 5-8 Gy. Substantial uncertainty about the level and the existence of a threshold

… Severe bilateral cataract was found in a 7 year-old nave female cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) 3 months before necropsy. … Histopathology revealed that the lens nuclei and majority of cortex lens fibers had disappeared and become excavated, while the lens fibers in the subcapsular area were swollen and distorted. … This is a rare case of spontaneous, bilateral, hypermature cataract in a cynomolgus monkey. …
