This
review
article
examines
the
ophthalmic
literature
published
on
cataracts
and
systemic
disease
during
the
past
year
.
Epidemiologically
,
the
association
between
alcohol
consumption
and
lens
opacification
is
reviewed
.
Cataracts
continue
to
be
strongly
associated
with
systemic
diseases
such
as
diabetes
mellitus
.
Clinical
,
basic
science
reports
and
the
results
of
the
Blue
Mountains
Eye
Study
group
on
the
morphology
of
diabetes
-related
cataracts
are
presented
.
Patients
with
neurologic
disorders
such
as
Wilson
disease
may
first
present
with
decreased
vision
and
cataracts
.
Cataracts
are
now
associated
with
syndromes
such
as
Cohen
syndrome
,
Degos
disease
,
and
Dubowitz
syndrome
.
A
recent
study
suggests
earlier
mortality
in
middle

patients
undergoing
cataract
surgery
.
