The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the in-vitro anti-cataract activity of methanolic fruit extracts of Citrullus colocynthis against glucose induced cataract in goat lens. Clear isolated goat lenses are incubated in the manufactured aqueous humor and divided into six experimental groups. The MFECC at a dose of 15 µg/ml, 30 µg/ml, and 60 µg/ml is incubated simultaneously with glucose (55Mm) for a span of 24 hrs. Ascorbic acid (40 µg/ml) is used as the standard drug. At the end of the incubation lens opacity is measured by photographic evaluation. The methanolic extracts of Citrullus colocynthis Fruit extract show significant prevention of cataractogenesis of eye lenses by MFECC at 60 µg/ml.
