[Biochemical changes in senile cataract].
Oxidative mechanism may play an important role in maturity onset cataract. But, nowadays, there is no answer whether cataract is the result of oxidation per se or of exaggerated and inappropriate physiological responses to oxidation. Also, senile cataract may be considered a conformational disease. Understanding the mechanisms of cataractogenesis will lead to a better therapy.
