A study, published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, looked at more than 207,000 adults with cataracts and more than 1.1 million without them. Those who took statins for at least a year had about a 27% increased risk of developing cataracts that needed surgery, compared with people not taking statins. However, this study did not prove that statins cause cataracts. Via Newsmax. Posted December 8, 2014.
