Association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D with cataract: a cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the UK Biobank
The study identified significant cross-sectional and prospective associations between vitamin D deficiency and increased cataract risk, with younger individuals being more susceptible. These findings emphasise the importance of early monitoring and intervention to address vitamin D deficiency and mitigate cataract risk.
