In addition to substantial results of epidemiological studies from India, China, Australia (Melbourne), Korea, Bulgaria (Sofia) and Japan, the improvement and standardization of classification techniques are thoroughly discussed in order to be able to adequately convey and compare the different findings. UV-radiation as a trigger in the development of cataract is amply described in the scientific literature. The book presents a new and accurate model for the complex measurement of UV-exposure of the eye and allows a more realistic calculation of the actual risk of damage to the eye. Reports on age-dependent alterations in the transparency and scattering light intensity of the human lens as well as special approaches to localize cataract complete this important publication for ophthalmologists and epidemiologists working in the field of ophthalmology. 410 0$aIssn Series 606 $aOphthalmology 606 $aEpidemiology 615 14$aOphthalmology 615 14$aEpidemiology 676 $a617.7/42 700 $aSasaki$b K$01216295 801 0$bUKSKG 801 1$bUKSKG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157469003321 996 $aCataract Epidemiology$92810923 997 $aUNINA
