Senile Cataract Animal Model (CAT#: STEM-AE-0081-WXH)

Introduction

Age-related cataract is the most common type of cataract. Through slit lamp examination, about 96% of the elderly over 60 years old can find that the lens has different degrees or forms of opacity. However, most cases progress slowly and do not affect vision. In some cases, vision is indeed affected by lens opacity. At this time, the diagnosis of age-related cataract has real clinical significance.
