Representative work: AIM: To compare of lens oxidative damage induced by vitrectomy and/or hyperoxia in rabbit. METHODS: Sixteen New Zealand rabbits (2.4-2.5 kg) were randomly divided into two groups (Group A, n=12; Group B, n=4). In Group A, the right eyes were treated with vitrectomy and systemic hyperoxia (oxygen concentration: 80%-85%, 1 ATA, 4h/d) (Group A-right), and the left eyes were treated with hyperoxia without vitrectomy surgery (Group A-left). Four rabbits in group B (eight eyes) were untreated as the controls. Lens transparency was monitored with a slit lamp and recorded before and after vitrectomy. After hyperoxic treatment for 6mo, the eyeballs were removed and the lens cortices (containing the c
