Although the impact of cataracts at the early stages can be lessened to some degree with glasses or contact lenses, surgery today, with lens implant, is the ultimate therapy that can be provided.' Based on curr
Life expectancy has increased considerably over the last few decades and, accordingly, so has the proportion of elderly patients requiring surgery and anaesthesia. Simultaneously, an increasing number of surgical procedures is performed on an outpatient basis. In order to avoid delays in the postanaest...

If decisions on health care spending are to be as rational and objective as possible, knowledge on cost-effectiveness of routine care is essential. Our aim, therefore, was to evaluate the cost-utility of routine cataract surgery in a real-world setting.
The benefit for the patient depends on the time between the first and second eye surgery as well as life expectancy [16]. Despite the advantage of ISBCS in bilateral cataract, the majority of cataract surgeries is performed as DSBCS, separated in time [3]. The rational for this is ...
other published reports of phakic IOLs, where the UCVA and BCVA were excellent. However endothelial cell loss over time was statistically significant, which has been attributed to the proximity of the anterior chamber IOL to the endothelium, the surgery itself and physiologic decrease with aging....
After adjusting for basic demographics, lifestyle habits, and health status, we found a negative association between previous cataract surgery and cognition. Our findings showed that previous cataract surgery was associated with a greater decline in cognitive function among the study population. Notably,...
There may be a small number of subjects who showed blepharoptosis after cataract surgery. However, the statistical benefit of maintaining a large number of subjects without excluding bilateral cataract surgery exceeds the risk of bias. Despite these limitations, the main strength of our study is ...

Using Tenon's capsule fibroblast cultures, indicative of fibrosis from post-glaucoma filtration surgery with excessive fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix production, it was shown that only α-tocotrienol significantly inhibited growth of fibroblasts, but not other isoforms of vitamin E such ...
