Abstract :
Age related cataract is the major cause of blindness in India.1,2 The prevalence of age related cataract and cataract
surgery is higher in this rural southern Indian population than reported for most other populations studied.3 A previous
study reported an earlier age of onset for age related cataract among people from the Indian subcontinent compared
to other populations.4 Despite the public health significance of cataract in India, there are few reports on the risk factors for age related cataract
from India.5–7 This paper reports on certain risk factors for age related cataract in a rural population aged 40 years and above in southern India
