Alcohol Use and Lens Opacities in the Beaver Dam Eye Study

Risk factors for cataract subtypes waterclefts and retrodots: two case–control studies

“…56 Earlier studies have found a protective effect for certain patterns of (light) alcohol consumption for cataract although mostly these studies have reported heavy alcohol consumption to be a risk, particularly for nuclear cataract. 16,[29][30][31][32][33] As noted above, our study population consisted mostly of relatively light drinkers, which could explain the absence of any observed harmful effects of 'heavy' alcohol use in our participants.…”

Incidence of cataract operations in Finnish male smokers unaffected by alpha tocopherol or beta carotene supplements.

“…24 Similar but borderline significance in cataract extraction risk was noticed with increasing body mass index. The increase in cataract extraction risk with more education is in contrast with findings from previous studies.…”

Alcohol Consumption and Incident Cataract Surgery in Two Large UK Cohorts

“…cataract surgery, 11,13,14 and other studies have found no relationship. 15,16 Evidence from prospective studies remains limited, and these have shown inconsistent findings.…”
