Statin use associated with reduced risk of common type of cataract

and nuclear cataract, the authors suggest that clinical trials of statins used for lipid lowering should assess nuclear cataract. In addition, they state "further study of the relationship of cataract and statin use is needed in which each type of cataract is considered individually. Further follow-up of our cohort, with anticipated increase in number of persons with cataract and wider use of statins, will permit us to evaluate whether our finding persists."
