Our findings do not support a possible association between long-term statin use and cataract in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes or hypertension. Although we found an association between statin use and cataract in individuals without these comorbidities, increasing durations of statin use did not yield higher cataract surgery rates.
