Table 1. Morphological assessment of cataract formation of each group’s isolated lenses

Group No of lenses with different degree of opacification
Grade 0 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Median (range)
I (n=18) 18 0 0 0 0 (0)
II (n=16) 0 0 10 6 2 (2–3) *
III (n=18) 0 7 8 3 2 (1–3) *, ‡

Incidence and staging of cataract formation of the isolated lenses in each experimental group. Group I: Control, Group II: Selenite-treated, Group III: Selenite+Saffron-treated. The Mann–Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons. Different symbols indicate statistically significant difference between groups. * p<0.0001 compared with group I. ‡ p<0.05 compared with group II.
