DOES LONG-TERM MULTIVITAMIN USE IN MEN DECREASE THE RISK OF CATARACT OR AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION?

According to this study in Ophthalmology:

These randomized trial data from a large cohort of middle-aged and older US male physicians indicate that long-term daily multivitamin use modestly and significantly decreased the risk of cataract but had no significant effect on visually significant AMD.

COMPLIANCE VS. EFFECTIVENESS WITH FULL-TIME VS. PART-TIME OCCLUSION THERAPY FOR AMBLYOPIA

According to this study in the American Orthoptic Journal:

This study confirms previous reports of similar visual outcomes between part-time occlusion and full-time occlusion amlyopia therapy. However, compliance rates for full-time occlusion seem to be higher and some children who have failed part-time occlusion may improve with full-time occlusion therapy.

CATARACTS ASSOCIATED WITH OSTEOPOROSIS

According to this study in Clinical Ophthalmology:

Results: Demographically, 41.8% were men with a mean age of 68.7 ± 8.2 years. A logistic regression model for osteoporosis showed that age, female sex, higher socioeconomic class, smoking, chronic renal failure, hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and cataract are all associated with increased prevalence of osteoporosis. Obesity is a protective factor for osteoporosis. In all age-groups, osteoporosis was more prevalent in cataract patients than in the control group.

Conclusion: Among other well-known risk factors, osteoporosis is associated with the presence of cataracts. Common pathophysiological associations with both conditions, such as calcium imbalance, hormonal abnormalities, and shared genetic predisposition, are discussed.
