          Abstract

          Lens epithelial cells (LECs) from 3 patients with congenital cataract aged 2, 4 and 12 months, respectively, were cultured. The findings were compared with those from 26 eyes of 26 patients with senile cataract, with ages ranging from 60 to 89 years. The significantly higher growth potential of LECs in patients with congenital cataract compared to those with senile cataract, seems to be the cause of the higher frequency of aftercataract following cataract surgery in infants.
