Main characteristics of 65 patients with cataract or myopia.

Variant	Total	Group A	Group B	Group C
Number	65	27	18	20
Age (years)	67.0±11.7	74.3±7.3	65.4±5.8	58.3±14.2
Gender (male/female)	29/36	11/16	10/8	8/12
Axial length (mm)	26.7±3.8	23.1±0.5	26.7±1.7	31.6±1.7
TGF-𝛽2 concentration (pg/mL)	422.2±258.8	389.8±212.3	337.3±211.6	542.5±316.8

Sixty-five aqueous humor samples were collected from patients with myopia or cataract during cataract or clear lens extraction surgery. According to the AL, the samples were divided into three groups: group A: AL ≤  24 mm, group B: AL 24–29 mm, and group C: AL ≥  29 mm.
