Cataract is a pathological eye condition with loss of lens transparency. Age-related cataract is the most common type in adults, and opacity is believed to result from oxidative stress. According to estimates by the World Health Organization, cataract affects approximate to 100 million people worldwide. There has been discussion on the role of lipid-lowering drugs in inducing cataract. Herein, we comment on an article suggesting a role for fibrates.

Abstract
Cataract is a pathological eye condition with loss of lens transparency. Age-related cataract is the most common type in adults, and opacity is believed to result from oxidative stress. According to estimates by the World Health Organization, cataract affects approximate to 100 million people worldwide. There has been discussion on the role of lipid-lowering drugs in inducing cataract. Herein, we comment on an article suggesting a role for fibrates.
