“…In addition to this alteration in Cl-levels have also been suggested for the possible mechanism of cataract development by causing of osmotic equilibrium. (7) Patients included in the present study were devoid of diseases like diabetes mellitus, acute or chronic renal failure and conventional risk factors for cataract formation like high blood glucose and urea were not present in these patients. Therefore, role of serum electrolyte imbalance can be justified in the process of cataract formation.…”

BACKGROUND 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, ageing, alterations in blood electrolytes and diabetes mellitus are involved in formation of senile cataract. Alterations in serum electrolyte levels can induce alterations in the concentration of electrolytes in aqueous humour, which affect the lens metabolism and probably lead to the formation of senile cataract. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the altered levels of serum electrolytes and the risk in development of senile cataract.
