Антидепрессанты и катаракта

Researchers found patients taking SSRIs were overall 15 percent more likely to be diagnosed with cataracts or to have cataract surgery.

The degree of risk among specific and different types of SSRIs varied considerably. Taking fluvoxamine (Luvox) led to a 51 percent higher chance of having cataract surgery, and venlafaxine (Effexor) carried a 34 percent higher risk.

No connection could be made between fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft) and having cataract surgery.
