EPHA2 polymorphisms and age-related cataract in India.

Objective: We investigated whether previously reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of EPHA2 in European studies are associated with cataract in India.

Methods: We carried out a population-based genetic association study. We enumerated randomly sampled villages in two areas of north and south India to identify people aged 40 and over.

Prevalence of cataract in an older population in India: the India study of age-related eye disease.

Purpose: To describe the prevalence of cataract in older people in 2 areas of north and south India.

Design: Population-based, cross-sectional study.

Participants: Randomly sampled villages were enumerated to identify people aged ≥ 60 years.

Incidence of post-cataract endophthalmitis at Aravind Eye Hospital: outcomes of more than 42,000 consecutive cases using standardized sterilization and prophylaxis protocols.
