Same-day bilateral cataract surgery achieved good refractive outcomes, with most patients experiencing minimal anisometropia (eye power difference). No patients reported dissatisfaction, suggesting this approach is safe for suitable candidates.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Bilateral cataract surgery performed on the same day is a common procedure.
  • Accurate refractive outcomes are crucial for patient satisfaction.
  • Anisometropia, a significant difference in refractive error between eyes, can lead to dissatisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the achieved refraction following same-day bilateral cataract surgery.
  • To assess the incidence of anisometropia after this procedure.
  • To determine patient dissatisfaction related to refractive outcomes and binocularity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 165 patients undergoing same-day bilateral cataract surgery.
  • Analysis of preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and refraction (spherical equivalent).

  • Evaluation of planned vs. achieved refraction, anisometropia, and patient complaints.

    • Main Results:

    • 43% of eyes achieved postoperative refraction within +/-0.5 D of target.
    • 82% of patients had anisometropia of 1 D or less.
    • No patients reported dissatisfaction due to refractive or binocularity issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Same-day bilateral cataract surgery generally yields predictable refractive results.
    • Significant anisometropia (>2 D) occurred in only 1.2% of patients.
    • The risk of refractive deviation does not contraindicate same-day bilateral surgery in uncomplicated cases.
