Abstract:
Results of a case-control of 423 cataract patients and 608 controls in Oxfordshire shows that the protective effect against cataract associated with consumption of aspirin-like analgesics (aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen family) is manifest even at low doses. Less than 150 g total dose was associated with a halving of the risk of cataract extraction.
