View Award Description

Cataract Risk and Occupational Exposures in Denmark - Abstract The aim of this project is to build one of the first large-scale studies focusing on occupational chemical and non-chemical exposures in relation to the risk of cataract. Cataract will be examined in relation to specific but understudied exposures suggested by previous literature. To address the study aims, the project will extract data from established registers in Denmark, while using validated job exposure matrices (JEMs) specific to the Danish work environment to assess occupational exposures. The burden of cataract is substantial, yet occupational-related exposures are understudied in cataract outcomes, making this a novel study. Improving understanding of these exposures and their impact on cataract will improve prevention efforts, advance therapeutic developments, and inform public policy on worksite safety.
