Figure 3From: Analysis of nuclear fiber cell compaction in transparent and cataractous diabetic human lenses by scanning electron microscopy Anterior-posterior axial length measurements. Measurements were made from the initiation of the fetal suture planes at the anterior and posterior poles. Transparent diabetic lenses (A) averaged 138 μm in length, while the cataractous diabetic lenses (B) exhibited an average of 125 μm, a 9% decrease.Back to article page
