Abstract :
Background: Recent reports suggest an association between oxidative stress and age–related cataracts (ARC). Aim: This study was planned and carried out to evaluate oxidative stress as possible risk factors for ARC. Materials and Methods: We compared serum malondialdehyde level in 120 cases of ARC and 120 age– and gender–matched controls. Statistical analysis was done using t–test.Signifi cance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: The overall mean serum levels of malondialdehyde were significantly higher (P < 0.001) in the cases (3.35 ± 0.28 nmol/ml) as compared to controls (2.71± 0.13 nmol/ml). Conclusion: This study suggests that oxidative stress is a risk factor for development and progression of senile cataract.
