This study investigates the potential of utilizing biological samples, specifically serum, for the analysis of metal concentrations in cataract patients. Cataract formation has been associated with metal accumulation in ocular tissues. By employing advanced analytical techniques, we examined the metal profiles in serum samples collected from cataract patients. The study explores the presence of various metals and their potential correlations with cataract severity and progression. The findings shed light on the role of metals in cataract development and offer insights into the potential implications for ocular health.
