摘      要：Background:The specific role of statins in the field of ophthalmology is not *** have the advantages of pleiotropic,relatively safety and low cost,and are a promising choice for the prevention and management of eye ***,there is a divergence of findings regarding the correlation between statin treatment and ocular ***,our intention is to investigate the impact of statins on eye conditions through the utilization of Mendelian randomization(MR).Methods:The UK Biobank provided data on five statins,while the FinnGen database provided data on six eye diseases,including age-related macular degeneration,glaucoma,diabetic retinopathy,senile cataract,drug-induced cataract,and other *** exploration involved the utilization of various methods including inverse variance weighted(IVW),weighted median,weighted multivariate(weighted mode),and MR-Egger *** assess the reliability of the findings,funnel analysis,MR-Egger regression,leave-one-out method,and Cochran’s Q test were ***,reverse MR analysis was performed to evaluate the potential for reverse causality between statin use and eye ***:Based on IVW analysis,there were three pairs of positive results with significant(P0.05)causal relationship,including atorvastatin and drug-induced cataract(odds ratio(OR)=1.65E-05,95%confidence interval(CI):2.24E-09–0.12;P_(IVW)=0.02),rosuvastatin and drug-induced cataract(OR=2.77E-18,95%CI:7.53E-35–0.1;P_(IVW)=0.04)and fluvastatin with senile cataract(OR=0.5,95%CI:0.25–0.99;P_(IVW)=0.05).No significant causal relationship was observed between other types of statins and eye *** analysis found that the results were *** MR analysis indicated no evidence of reverse causality between statin use and the examined eye ***:Our study finally verified the strong causal relationship between three drugs and two diseases(atorvastatin and rosuvastatin and drug cataract
