Statin Use and the Risk of Cataracts: A Systematic Review and Meta–Analysis [Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis]

ConclusionsBased on the present meta‐analysis of these studies, we could only conclude that there is no clear evidence showing that statin use increases the risk of cataracts. The most likely case is that there is no association between statin use and cataracts. Because of the considerable benefits of statins in cardiovascular patients, this issue should not deter their use.
