Simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) is safe and effective, showing good visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction. This approach does not increase the risk of complications compared to monocular surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
  • Simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) offers potential efficiency benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 1020 patients (2040 eyes) undergoing SBCS.
  • Procedures performed using endolenticular phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation.
  • Data collected on complications, visual acuity, refractive error, and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Low incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications observed.
  • Complications were comparable to those expected in monocular surgery.

  • Good postoperative uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuities achieved.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) is a safe procedure with no increased complication rate.
    • The visual outcomes and patient satisfaction were favorable.
    • Bilateral procedures did not contribute to observed complications.
