I reviewed 1,477 eyes which underwent cataract surgery. Each eye was evaluated for corneal curvature, lens thickness, axial length, degree of cataract after Emery grading, and type of cataract. Intumescent cataract was excluded. The ages averaged 73.4 ± 11.1 years. The series comprised cortical cataract 783 eyes (53%), nuclear cataract 302 eyes (20.4%), posterior subcapsular cataract 217 eyes (14.7%), and nuclear-posterior subcapsular cataract 143 eyes (9.7%). The lens thickness increased along with ageing and with increasing Emery grading. The lens thickness was greatest in nuclear cataract, followed by cortical, nuclear-posterior subcapsular and posterior subcapsular cataract in decreasing order. The findings show the importance of lens thickness in predicting the position of intraocular lens.
