Abstract
Calcium, potassium and sodium concentration in normal and senile cataractous lenses was investigated in the course of a long-term dialysis. It was found that about 20% of the calcium content in normal lenses could not be dialysed, whereas in completely opaque lenses, almost 70% of their high calcium content remained fixed within them. The experiments also indicated that, although the potassium and sodium concentration showed a remarkable decrease during the dialysis, a certain amount of them remained both in normal and in cataractous lenses.
