Higher phosphate concentrations as in aqueous humor of diabetic patients increase intraocular lens calcification

Abstract Background Clinical evidence suggests an association between phosphate concentrations in aqueous humor and the risk of intraocular lens (IOL) calcification. To test this hypothesis the influence of different phosphate concentrations on IOL calcification was evaluated in an in vitro electrop...
