Elevated Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Aqueous Humor: A Possible Explanation for High Rate of Capsular Contraction Syndrome in High Myopia

Table 2

Clinical profile of CCS patients.

	CCS patients
	ARC	HMC
Number of eyes	5	14
Age (y)	60.8 ± 6.3	59.9 ± 5.6
Gender (male/female)	2/3	6/8
Axial length (mm)	23.6 ± 0.7	31.5 ± 2.1
Interval time (days)	67.6 ± 17.8	50.8 ± 9.1
TGF-β2 (pg/mL)	2141 ± 205	2784 ± 322

CCS = capsular contraction syndrome; ARC = age-related cataract; HMC = high myopic cataract; TGF-β2 = transforming growth factor-β2.
Interval between cataract surgery and the onset of capsular contraction syndrome.
