Abstract
The authors present current knowledge concerning the role of polyols in the formation of cataract in diabetic patients. Sugar alcohols are formed in lens as a consequence of glucose conversion in the sorbitol pathway. The pharmacological modulation of this process by the application of aldose reductase inhibitors are also discussed.
