Beta-Blockers and Cataracts
I came across two articles regarding a study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology about beta-blockers and cataracts. The study suggests an increased risk of cataract formation with the use of beta-blockers. The first article is from Drugs.com:
“Australian researchers are reporting a possible link between widely used beta-blocker drugs and an increased risk of cataracts.”
“A ‘possible’ association between use of a different class of high blood pressure drugs, calcium-channel blockers, and cataract surgery was seen in the study, but no such association was seen for all other drugs for high blood pressure.”
The second article comes from Medical News Today:
“A research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology suggests certain types of drugs prescribed to lower blood pressure seem to increase the risk of corrective cataract surgery.”
