We have developed an in vitro cataract model using enucleated animal eyes. A cataract is produced by immersing the enucleated eyes in hypertonic sodium chloride solution for one hour and re-incubating them for another hour in normal saline solution. The model is useful for practicing various techniques of cataract extraction.
