Abstract
Three hundred patients with cataract and 609 control subjects with the same age-sex distribution were interviewed in a study of cataract in Oxfordshire, England. The risks associated with severe diarrhoea, glaucoma, and work on a military base have been demonstrated. Population attributable risks were calculated for those and other risk factors.Keywords
