Abstract

The knowledge of the role of trace elements is a necessary condition for the investigation of cataract etiopathogenesis. The deposition of trace elements in eye lens may be influenced by many vital factors and, therefore, the effect of sex, age and locality on the content of these elements was investigated. The determinations of elements were carried out by instrumental neutron activation analysis, and the results were evaluated with the aid of statistical tests. The effect of locality being taken as a set of local ecological factors has been proved as a dominant factor.
