| Abstract |
|
There has been increased dialysis because of chronic renal failure, and also has been increased cataractous changes. We found 8 eyes(5 patients) who were under dialysis and also had cataractous changes. They received cataract operations. The results were obtained as follows: 1. Male to female ratio is 4:1 and the average age of cataract patients is 45 years old. 2. The cataractous changes after dialysis occurred within 1 year(except example 1). 3. We found that the cataracts developed from posterior subcapsule of lens(except example 1) and the corrected visual acuity at 2 months after surgery were over 0.5. 4. There were no serious problems after surgery(routine I.C.C.E.). 5. On blood chemistry, the average calcium level was 7.88mg% (hypocalcemic state), and we suggest that this condition may be related with cataractous changes. |
