| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate which factors (including age,
sex, grade of cataract, diabetes mellitus (DM), pseudoexfoliation, glaucoma, and atopy)
are correlated with thickening and/or multilamellar appearance of the anterior lens
capsule.
Seventy-two anterior lens capsules were obtained during cataract surgeries. They
were fixed, embedded in paraffin, and stained with Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and
Masson-Trichrome. We measured thickness of the anterior capsules on microscopic
photographs. In addition, multilamellar appearance of the anterior capsules was graded
by an experienced ophthalmic pathologist and scored (0-3.0). By multiple regression
analysis we evaluated whether the seven factors described above were correlated with
thickness and/or multilamellar appearance of the anterior capsules.
Thickness of the anterior capsule was correlated with DM and age (p=O.O095 and p=
O.O138, respectively) . Multilamellar score was significantly correlated with age (p<O.OOO1)
. Both had no significant relationships with other factors.
This is the first report that showed the above mentioned relationships with multiple
regression analysis. |
