Abstract
The frequency of HLA antigens has been determined in patients with different types of cataract. No association was found between the development of senile cataract and HLA. Although HLA antigens are associated with susceptibility to acute anterior uveitis and juvenile‐onset diabetes, and these diseases may be complicated by cataract, it is obvious that the development of cataract is only secondary to these diseases and not itself associated with HLA antigens. We can conclude that there is no association between HLA and the development of cataract.
