Figure 1. Nuclear cataract progression based on baseline ACI.
Shows the rate of progression of nuclear cataract based on initial α-Crystallin Index (ACI) level. Eyes were divided into 3 groups (tertiles) based on baseline ACI. Those with the lowest ACI at baseline had the fastest cataract progression; those with highest ACI at baseline had the slowest progression. (P value of trend <0.0001)
