Figure 1. Lens transparency evaluation and quantification. A: Comparison of lens transparency in 2-month-old WT, GPX1−/−, and CAT−/− mice. The lower panel shows the focusing of a metal grid by the lenses. B: Quantification of pixel brightness intensity to assess transparency in WT, GPX1−/−, and CAT−/− mouse lenses. The higher the pixel brightness intensity is, the lower the lens transparency. There is no statistically significant
difference in transparency in the lenses of the GPX1−/− and CAT−/− mice compared to the WT lenses. Eight lenses were used for each mouse model. Error bars represent standard deviations.<Fig_Large></Fig_Large>
