Abstract
Results of a case‐control study 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.Keywords
