Axial lens thickness in diabetics (8.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.9\u00a0mm) was statistically significantly different from the lens thickness in normal eyes (6.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0\u00a0mm), eyes with immature cataract (6.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.8\u00a0mm) and eyes with mature cataract (7.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.9\u00a0mm) although these groups, while varying in thickness, were not statistically significantly different from each other. Anterior chamber depth was statistically significantly reduced in eyes with diabetic cataract (2.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1\u00a0mm) from that in normal eyes (3.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1\u00a0mm), eyes with immature cataract (3.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1\u00a0mm) and eyes with mature cataract (3.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6\u00a0mm) although these groups, while varying in chamber depth, were not statistically significantly different from each other.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold>Lenses with diabetic cataracts were significantly increased in axial thickness compared to lenses in other eyes, although lenses with mature cataracts showed a trend towards increased axial thickness and immature cataracts demonstrated a trend towards reduced thickness. While previous studies on cataract pathobiology have suggested a reduction in lens thickness in immature cataract through lens protein loss and an increase in thickness in mature cataracts through intumescence, this study is the first to document these changes in the canine lens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1463-5224.2004.04005.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,2,18]],"date-time":"2004-02-18T16:36:51Z","timestamp":1077122211000},"page":"91-95","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Lens
