Patients with psoriasis have increased risks for cataracts, cataract surgery
Patients with psoriasis have an increased risk for cataracts and cataract surgery, with the risks for these outcomes varying by treatment modality, according to a study published online Oct. 26 in the Journal of Dermatology.
AI Summary
A retrospective cohort study of 61,622 newly diagnosed psoriasis patients and an equal number of matched controls found that psoriasis increases the risk of cataracts and cataract surgery. The study, published online Oct. 26 in the Journal of Dermatology, used age, sex, and index year matching to compare outcomes. A nested case‑control analysis further examined psoriasis patients who developed cataracts or underwent surgery, matching them to psoriasis patients without those outcomes. The analysis showed that the risk varies by treatment modality, though specific treatment effects were not detailed in the summary.
