Morphological changes in cataractous albino quail lens were studied by light microscopy. In some animals, a pin-head opacity in the lens could first be detected with the naked eye 2 months after hatching. Faint anterior or posterior cortical opacity was observed in many lenses at 3 months of age. Most lenses had turned opaque 12 months after hatching. Lens dimensions were markedly enlarged at 6 months of age. Vacuoles were present in the posterior surface just beneath the capsule and equatorial epithelium, before the cells became degenerative. Many swollen lens fibers and abnormally migrated cells were observed in the posterior cortical region. The lens was covered with several layers of epithelioid cells in the mature cataract.
通过光学显微镜研究了白内障白化鹌鹑晶状体的形态学变化。在一些动物中，孵化后2个月用肉眼首次可检测到晶状体中的针头状混浊。3月龄时，在许多晶状体中观察到轻微的前皮质或后皮质混浊。大多数晶状体在孵化后12个月时已变为不透明。6月龄时晶状体尺寸明显增大。在细胞发生退变之前，囊膜和赤道上皮下方的后表面存在空泡。在后皮质区域观察到许多肿胀的晶状体纤维和异常迁移的细胞。成熟白内障中的晶状体被几层上皮样细胞覆盖。
