[Morphometric analysis of the structure of tear and aqueous humor in senile cataract].

The parameters of the wedge dehydrated samples of aqueous humor and tear taken from patients with senile cataract were compared by a morphometric assay. Computer-aided processing of the images of the test biological fluids was made on a Morphotest-1 hardware-software complex. The study has provided evidence for the uniformity of distribution of major structural components in the dehydrated samples of tear and aqueous humor in each specific examinee. This fact opens up possibilities for studying the signs of different intraocular pathological conditions from the morphological pattern of tear.
