The term <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">age-related cataract</span> is used to distinguish lens opacification associated with old age from opacification associated with other causes&#44; such as congenital and metabolic disorders or trauma&#46; By far&#44; the most common of these disorders are referred to as senile or age-related cataracts&#46; The prevalence of the disease increases dramatically after age 60&#46; In Spain&#44; cataract extraction is the most frequently performed ophthalmic operation&#46; In the decade up to 1980 the number of cataract surgeries performed in people 65 years old and over doubled<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> and in England and Wales<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> there was an increased of two-thirds in the decade before 1985&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Over the last 30 years&#44; the elderly population of developed countries has shown an unprecedented increase&#44; with developing countries showing similar trends<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span>&#46; In Spain&#44; the percentage of elderly people above 65 years of age has doubled in just 45 years&#44; from 6&#37; in 1950 to 16&#37; in 1998&#46; The predictions indicate that people of 65 years of age and over will experience the highest demographic growth comparing to other groups<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>&#46; As the average lifespan in the population increases&#44; the incidence of cataract will increase as well&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Although surgical treatment to remove cataract is very effective&#44; cataract surgery carries risks&#46; Moreover&#44; in developing countries cataracts are more common and develop earlier&#44; more than 90&#37; of the cases of blindness and visual impairment are due to cataract<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span>&#46; The incidence of cataract is so high&#44; that new cases will always outstrip the capacity of surgical programs&#46; A preventive approach appears to be essential to the global problem of cataract<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span>&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The etiology and natural history of cataract is unknown&#46; It is considered that cataract is a multi-etiological process&#46; Laboratory investigations suggest that age-related cataract might result from oxidative stress after sunlight exposure<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7</span>&#46; Animal and observational studies suggest that a diet low in antioxidant micronutrients may increase the risk of lens opacification&#46; The possible role of antioxidants as a potentially modifiable risk factor has drawn considerable interest with major public health relevance&#46; Epidemiological studies have also suggested that associated risk factors may include age&#44; sex&#44; race&#44; low socioeconomic status&#44; smoking and alcohol consumption&#44; diabetes mellitus&#44; hypertension&#44; and use of some drugs&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> A basis for preventive strategies depends upon adequate understanding of the causes of lens opacification&#46; Strategies to prevent or delayed cataract have not been identified&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> This article reviews the epidemiological information about the relation between cataract and antioxidant vitamins and minerals for several important reasons&#58; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">a&#41;</span> antioxidants might be a plausible risk factor from a biological point of view&#59; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">b&#41;</span> results from epidemiological studies about the role of different antioxidants are inconsistent&#44; and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">c&#41;</span> if antioxidants are important factors on cataract prevention&#44; the level of these could be increased through the diet&#44; according to the presumed needs of the organism for antioxidant protection&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> In this context&#44; this narrative review examines the evidence from epidemiological studies about the extent to which existing knowledge on the relationship between antioxidant micronutrients and lens opacification can account for the disease in the elderly&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">A little about the lens</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The primary function of the eye lens is to collect and focus light on the retina&#46; To do so&#44; it must remain clear throughout life&#46; The lens is an encapsulated organ&#44; located posterior to the cornea and receives nutriture from the aqueous humor<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span>&#46; This capsule completely isolates a compact mass of epithelial cells&#44; which form a single layer on the anterior surface of the lens&#46; At the equatorial region the epithelial cells elongate migrate posteriorly&#44; and transform into fiber cells&#44; a process that continues throughout the life of the organism&#46; These fibers elaborate the proteins of the lens called <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">crystallins&#46;</span> Therefore&#44; new cells are formed throughout life&#44; but older cells usually are not lost&#46; Instead&#44; they are compress into the nucleus of the lens<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span>&#46; The nucleus is the region of the lens&#44; which lacks protein turnover opposite to the single layer of epithelial cells&#44; which is incessantly rejuvenated by molecular renewal<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span>&#46; The cellular maintenance and repair of the nucleus depends upon the synthesis and transport of antioxidant enzymes and micronutrients from the cortical area into the nucleus to maintain lens integrity<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span>&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Possible mechanism of lens opacification</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> As the lens ages&#44; or on stress due to oxidative insults such as exposure to ultraviolet light<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10&#44;11</span>&#44; environmental pollutants&#44; cigarette smoke&#44; car exhaust fumes&#44; alcohol and certain drugs<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span> the proteins of the lens are damaged&#44; aggregate and form opacities&#46; It is generally agreed that oxidation of the lens is an important and probable mechanism of cataract genesis in humans<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span>&#46; Oxidation is a biochemical process of loss of electrons associated with another of reception call reduction&#46; Oxidative stress appears when oxidation is excessive<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span>&#46; This mechanism would generate the production of oxygen species&#44; the free radicals&#44; which carry an unpaired electron&#46; These species&#44; which are highly reactive and very unstable&#44; are capable of damaging biologically relevant molecules such as the lens crystallins to depart from their unstable state&#46; In the lens&#44; the free radicals would impair the function of proteolytic enzymes&#44; which normally eliminate the damaged proteins&#46; These proteins&#44; the lens crystallins&#44; would aggregate and precipitate forming lens opacities<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span>&#46; Depending where the opacification is located the cataracts will be cortical&#44; posterior subcapsular&#44; nuclear&#44; or mixed cataracts &#40;multiple locations&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">The antioxidant defense system in the eye</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> To counteract these potentially damaging stresses&#44; the lens has an elaborate antioxidant defence system including vitamin C &#40;ascorbic acid&#41;&#44; vitamin E &#40;tocopherol&#41;&#44; and carotenoids<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span>&#46; They could interrupt the chain reaction of free radicals if free radical generation is not so great as to overwhelm the defence network&#46; The important presence of some of these antioxidant micronutrients in the lens is well documented&#46; Vitamin A and the major lens carotenoids&#44; lutein and zeaxanthin&#44; are also present in the cataract lens&#46; The findings that oxidation reactions might be important factors in cataractogenesis&#44; and that antioxidants would help to ameliorate that risk implies that antioxidant micronutrients might be expected to prevent or retard the cataract process&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Material and methods</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The computerized bibliographic database MEDLINE was used as a source to search for published epidemiological studies on cataract and antioxidants&#46; The search strategy included&#58; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">a&#41;</span> the key words&#58; &#171;cataract AND antioxidant micronutrients&#187; and covered the year period from 1970 up to the end of 2001&#46; The screening of the articles was done firstly from the titles&#44; secondly from the abstracts and finally from the complete article&#44; and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">b&#41;</span> citation of other published studies in the different articles found through the MEDLINE database was also used as a source of reference for more articles to be included&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> With this strategy I have tried to cover all articles published during the last thirty years&#46; However&#44; although efforts were made to search for all articles published during that period&#44; I cannot guarantee that may be some relevant old or new publications could have been missed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The present review first focus on observational studies identifying the controversial issues and then&#44; on interventional trials examining the effects of different antioxidant on cataract prevention or development&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Evidence from observational epidemiological studies in the elderly</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Though the explanation of high cataract prevalence in one country need not necessarily be the same as that in another&#44; the worldwide distribution of increased risk in both sexes suggests that there may be a common underlying mechanism&#46; Laboratory studies have shown an important role for a protective effect of some antioxidant micronutrients against cataract&#46; However&#44; epidemiological evidence is less consistent&#46; Although some epidemiological studies suggest that low levels of antioxidant micronutrients are associated with an increased risk of cataract&#44; there is considerably less agreement on the role of individual antioxidants<span class="elsevierStyleSup">15&#44;16</span>&#46; Epidemiological evidence is provided primarily by case-control and cohort studies and more recently by cross-sectional studies and intervention trials&#46; Most epidemiological studies have been conducted in the US and far less is known from other populations such as the European populations with different diet and lifestyles patterns&#46; Across Europe&#44; there is considerable variation in dietary intakes&#44; especially in the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables&#44; main food sources of antioxidant micronutrients&#44; with Northern European populations having lower intakes compared with &#171;Mediterranean&#187; diets&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Vitamin C</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Vitamin C is considered to be the most prominent water-soluble molecule with antioxidant properties&#46; Animal experiments have shown an important role for a protective effect of vitamin C against cataract<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;18</span>&#46; The high concentrations of ascorbate present in the normal lenses&#44; cornea&#44; and aqueous humor with 20-30 fold the level found in human plasma suggests that ascorbic acid might be of relevant importance to the eye&#39;s health<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span>&#46; The concentration of vitamin C in the lens has been found to be related to vitamin C supplementation&#46; Two studies clearly demonstrated that supplementation with vitamin C significantly increased plasma&#44; aqueous humour&#44; and lens levels<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19&#44;20</span>&#46; On the other hand&#44; levels of ascorbic acid have been found to be low or absent in cataractous lenses and increased ascorbate free radicals are found in human lens with progression of cataracts<span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span>&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Epidemiological studies have investigated the association between dietary or plasma vitamin C&#44; or vitamin C supplements and cataract&#46; Most studies do not give percentile cut-offs to define the dietary vitamin C categories nor blood vitamin C levels but rather categories of high&#44; medium or low&#46; Table 1 shows a selection of the most relevant studies about vitamin C and cataract and discussed in this section&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="138v16nSupl.2-13042664tab01.gif"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><img src="138v16nSupl.2-13042664tab02.gif"></img></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Several studies have examined the relation between serum vitamin C levels and risk of cataract&#46;

the available epidemiological evidence does not provide a basis for recommending dietary change for the general population&#46; Errors in the assessment methods could account for the lack of consistency seen among the reviewed epidemiological studies&#46; Moreover&#44; because of the long-term and multifactorial nature of cataract&#44; it is difficult to predict the influence of nutrients on the cataract process when diet is measured at only one time point&#46; Epidemiological studies have assessed the antioxidant status of individuals by measuring intake using food frequency questionnaires and&#47;or by measuring blood antioxidant&#39;s levels&#46; In general&#44; the results from the food frequency questionnaires data showed a smaller effect of antioxidants on cataract risk compared with the blood data analyses&#46; The smaller magnitude of associations based on the food frequency questionnaires antioxidant levels may have resulted from the error in the measurement of &#171;usual&#187; dietary intake with the questionnaire&#44; while data obtained from blood analyses are likely to have been less susceptible to error&#46; The resulting error in measuring antioxidant intakes from the food frequency questionnaire be expected to lead to a dilution of the magnitude of association&#46; Food frequency questionnarie&#39;s responses are based on memory and the participants may have had difficulty in accurate classification of intakes across a wide range of food products&#46; Of more concern is &#171;recall bias&#187; where errors in reporting food intakes occur because of biased reporting due to knowledge of having cataract&#46; This is of increasing concern given the current widespread publicity about diet in relation to certain diseases&#46; However&#44; this situation seems unlikely&#46; So far doctors do not give dietary advice for patients with cataract&#46; There is no obvious population awareness of possible dietary influences on cataract risk&#46; Other errors might result from inaccurate food composition data and&#47;or incomplete listing of foods in the food frequency questionnaire leading to errors in estimates of the average individual caloric and nutrient intake&#46; For instance&#44; it has only been recently that a few food composition tables have started to incorporate individual carotenoids content of foods&#46; Most of the food composition tables provide data on total vitamin A activity or total carotenoid content of foods and tend to overestimate total carotenoid content and subsequently&#44; vitamin A activity of plant foods&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Observational studies are subject to confounding and design biases&#46; The majority of epidemiological studies reviewed here took account of main potential confounders such as smoking and alcohol consumption&#44; sun exposure&#44; body mass index&#44; iris colour&#44; education energy intake&#44; and other antioxidant micronutrients&#46; However&#44; confounding bias may remain if these variables were measured with error or were classified into broad categories or there may be other unknown factors that protect for lens opacification&#46; On the other hand&#44; some of the studies reviewed here were lacked of statistical power and some real associations could be missed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Differences in the definition of case patients could also account for the different results found in this review&#46; In some studies&#44; cases were subjects with any grade of lens opacities&#59; in others&#44; they had more severe cataract that required extraction&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Finally&#44; more data on the potential oxidative activity of these antioxidants is needed to better understand the relationship between antioxidants and cataract&#46; It is known from experimental studies&#44; that some of these antioxidants might be acting as oxidants under specific circumstances&#46; Some data have suggested potential adverse effects of vitamin C in the lens<span class="elsevierStyleSup">65</span>&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conclusions</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Given the scarcity of available clinical trial data&#44; and the inconclusive results from observational studies about the individual role of the antioxidant micronutrients on cataract risk&#44; no recommendations on supplements should be made&#46; However&#44; epidemiological studies suggest that a diet low in antioxidants might be associated with an increased risk of cataract&#46; It seems therefore prudent to recommend diets rich in fruits and vegetables with high consumption of vitamins C&#44; E and carotenoids&#46; Clinical trials of sufficient size and duration are needed before such recommendations are made&#46; Moreover&#44; more data on the potential oxidative effect of these antioxidants in the lens must be gathered until we confidently could recommend dietary changes or the use of supplements for the prevention of cataract&#46; Other population studies and clinical trials are under way which may elucidate the possible role of these antioxidants on risk of cataract&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Acknowledgments</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> I am most grateful to Professor Astrid Fletcher&#44;
