  • Title: Prevalence of posterior subcapsular lens opacities in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
    Author: Fishman GA, Anderson RJ, Lourenco P.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1985 Apr; 69(4):263-6. PubMed ID: 3994942.
    Abstract:
    We clinically evaluated 338 patients with various genetic types of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) for the presence of posterior subscapsular (PSC) lens opacities. Of these, 180 (53%) had PSC lens changes or were bilaterally aphakic. Patients with X-linked recessive RP showed a greater prevalence and patients with autosomal dominant RP a lesser prevalence of PSC lens changes compared with autosomal recessive or isolated cases.
