1 INTRODUCTION Age-related cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally, with 17 million people worldwide reported to be blind due to cataract in 2020 (Bourne et al., 2021). The overall prevalence of cataract and cataract surgery in Sweden was 23.4% (27.2% in women and 19.1% in men) in 70-year-olds (Nordström et al., 2022), and the prevalence of cataract surgery has been estimated to 8% in 63–64-year olds in 2022 in Sweden (Bro et al., 2024).
