Abstract

It is clear that oxidative stress is associated with compromises to the lens. Recent literature indicates that antioxidants may ameliorate that risk and may actually decrease risk for cataract. This article will briefly review the etiology of cataract. It will also review the epidemiologic information with emphasis on roles for vitamins C and E and carotenoids. More thorough recent reviews are available.

摘要

很明显，氧化应激与晶状体受损有关。最近的文献表明，抗氧化剂可能会降低这种风险，实际上还可能降低患白内障的风险。本文将简要回顾白内障的病因。还将回顾流行病学信息，重点是维生素C、维生素E和类胡萝卜素的作用。近期有更全面的综述可供参考。
