Simple deficient nutrition, an earlysenile change, may account mainly for this dry type ofcataract. In other cases, either from the beginning or engraftedat any stage upon the above, changes are seen in greateror less degree comparable with those of cataract, resultingfrom a traumatic opening in the lens capsule, and doubt-less attributable mainly to the same cause—abnormallyfree admission of aqueous to the lens substance. Thereis the same grey, moist swelling and breaking down ofcortex, the debris and fluid forming in a late stage themilk of a Morgagnian cataract
