Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Aging may affect a person's vision. Vitamin E and/or selenium may help prevent cataracts or age-related macular degeneration in men receiving these drugs as part of a clinical trial for the prevention of prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying vitamin E and/or selenium to see how well they work in preventing cataract and age-related macular degeneration in men enrolled on SELECT (SWOG-S0000).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants With Visually Significant Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

    Visually significant age-related AMD was defined as incident AMD responsible for reduction in best corrected visual acuity to 20/30 or worse(AMD 20/30)

    Every 6 months, up to 7 years

  • Number of Participants With Cataract and Best Corrected Visual-acuity of 20/30

    Incident cataract was defined as lens opacity diagnosed after randomization but prior to end of study, age-related in origin, and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/30 or worse attributable to the opacity.

    Every 6 months, up to 7 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants With Advanced AMD

    Every 6 months, up to 7 years

  • Number of Participants Who Underwent Cataract Extraction

    Every 6 months, up to 7 years
