Cataract is the major cause of blindness in man throughout the
world. It is usually dealt with by surgery but surgery is expensive
and may lead to other ocular damage. Apart from surgery one might
hope to prevent cataracts or to cure them, but these approaches
require a much greater understanding of the structure and
metabolism of the lens and of its weaknesses and strengths. The
emphasis of this book is on recent findings. The first chapter
deals with the normal lens and its structure, cellular composition,
metabolism and proteins. In the following chapter the ageing of the
lens will be discussed, and the third chapter discusses the
epidemiology of cataract emphasizing the size of the problem of
cataract and the associated risk factors. Surgery is discussed
briefly but without detailed discussion of recent changes in
surgical procedure. That is followed by a chapter on experimental
cataracts and related in vitro studies. The studies of human
cataracts are discussed in chapter 5. The last chapter deals with
the prevention of cataract and its delay by anti-cataract agents.
There have been advances in this area recently and there is the
promise of an effective therapeutic treatment soon.
This book is designed to aid preclinical medical students in exam
preparation by providing three complete mock short answer question
examinations that cover material from all of the disciplines
represented in typical undergraduate medical courses. For medical
students approaching these important exams this guide provides
realistic and high quality exam questions on which to sharpen their
skills. The questions have been created by experienced medical
educators to reflect the popular cross-modular style. The answers
include marking schemes and explanations. The book has been
organized to mimic the exam experience as closely as possible, even
to the extent of suggesting timings for each section and using
paper sizes and answer spacings familiar to most medical students.
This book is ideal for a candidate who is close to taking the
relevant exam and wishes to prepare for the likely exam experience.
