Study of changes in Serum Electrolytes & Its risk in development of Senile Cortical Cataract

A cataract is one of the age-related eye disorders due to the opacity in the lens and accounts for 50% of blindness in India. Factors like family history, aging, alterations in blood electrolytes, and diabetes mellitus are involved in the formation of senile cataracts. Alterations in serum electrolyte levels can induce alterations in the concentration of electrolytes in aqueous humor, which affect the lens metabolism and probably lead to the formation of senile cataracts. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the altered levels of serum electrolytes and the risk in the development of senile cataracts.
