Cataracts — master bibliography

Last curated: 2026-08-31 (independent audit). Every PMID below was re-fetched from PubMed E-utilities during the audit session and confirmed to resolve with matching title, journal and year. Papers are grouped by the canonical wiki page that draws on them most; “cited by” lists every page that cites them and is regenerated from the page files, so it cannot drift from the wiki.
