The mechanism of normal lens growth is considered. This involves both the surface accretion of new fibres and the central compaction of aging fibres. When lens growth is abnormal, it is shown to be retarded in most conditions, but accelerated in diabetes. The relationship between lens growth and ocular disease, in particular angle-closure glaucoma, is discussed.
本文探讨了正常晶状体生长的机制。这涉及新纤维的表面增生以及老化纤维的中央压实。当晶状体生长异常时,在大多数情况下会表现为生长迟缓,但在糖尿病患者中则会加速生长。文中还讨论了晶状体生长与眼部疾病,特别是闭角型青光眼之间的关系。
