Introduction: Cataract is a major cause of impaired vision andblindness. Study aimed to find out if there is any associationbetween dyslipidemia and cataract.Material and methods: This cross sectional hospital basedstudy was performed in a tertiary care center of Jharkhandbetween June 2017 to March 2018. Total 223 patients whowere diagnosed with senile cataract were included in the study.Detailed history, ophthalmologic and systemic examinationwas done. Dyslipidemia is defined as:Hypercholesterolemia(total cholesterol > 220 mg/dl), or Hypertriglyceridemia (totaltriglyceride > 150 mg/dl), or Low density lipoprotein > 130mg/dl.Results: Out of total 223 patients 134 were men and 89were women. 70% patients had dyslipidemia. Prevalenceof dyslipidemia was associated significantly (< 0.05) withnuclear and cortical cataract but not significant (> 0.05) forposterior sub capsular cataract.Conclusion: Dyslipidemia maybe considered having anassociation with nuclear and cortical cataract directly orindirectly.
