New Study: Medications that increase sensitivity to the sun may cause cataracts
New study found that medications that increase sensitivity to the sun, including antidepressants, diuretics, antibiotics and the pain reliever naproxen sodium (commonly sold over-the-counter as Aleve) increase the risk of age-related cataract.
The results of this study will be in the publication in the August print issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology.
Editor’s Notes: The lens cells are similar to skin cells which may be why additional light sensitivity can contribute to or cause cataracts.
