Contamination of Heavy Metals (Lead, Zinc, Magnesium and Manganese) Concentrations in Human Eyes

The aim of our study is to measure the concentration of Lead, Zinc, Magnesium and manganese, toxic/transition metals in human lens. The analyzed samples were categorized according to their personal habits (smoking, food, drinking and medical history). Demographic and laboratory characteristics of patients, the patients were twenty six males and twenty females. The comparison of trace elements between patients and control revealed significant increase of lead and manganese levels in patients and significant decrease of magnesium while there was few significant difference in zinc concentration among them.
