Abstract: 
I read with great interest the recent article Curcumin inhibits proliferation of human lens epithelial cells: a proteomic analysis” by Hu et al. (2012), published in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B (Biomedicine & Biotechnology). Curcumin may be of significant benefit in other optic disorders besides cataracts.
