Simultaneous bilateral cataract extraction offers visual outcomes comparable to single-eye surgery. This procedure is safe and beneficial for selected patients when performed under strict protocols.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
  • Assessing the safety and efficacy of bilateral cataract extraction is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the visual results and safety of performing cataract extraction on both eyes simultaneously.
  • To compare outcomes with single-eye cataract surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 288 eyes from 144 patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral cataract extraction over 10 years.
  • Assessment of final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and complication rates (intraoperative and postoperative).

Main Results:

  • 87.0% of eyes achieved a BCVA of 6/9 or better.
  • Intraoperative complication rate was 2.42%, including posterior capsule rupture.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Postoperative complication rate was 10.05%, with common issues like elevated intraocular pressure and uveitis.
  • No major bilateral complications such as endophthalmitis were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous bilateral cataract extraction yields results comparable to single-eye surgery.
    • The procedure is safe and advantageous in carefully selected cases when adhering to strict surgical protocols.
