Immediately sequential (ISBCS) and delayed sequential (DSBCS) bilateral cataract surgery show similar safety and effectiveness. Both methods demonstrated no significant differences in surgical complications or visual function outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Bilateral cataract surgery can be performed either immediately sequentially (ISBCS) or delayed sequentially (DSBCS).
  • Patient selection and surgical protocols are crucial for safe and effective cataract surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the safety and effectiveness of ISBCS versus DSBCS for bilateral cataract surgery.
  • To evaluate surgical complications, visual acuity, and self-perceived visual function at 30 days and 1 year postoperatively.

Main Methods:

  • Multicenter randomized clinical trial involving patients requiring bilateral cataract surgery.
  • Patients were randomized to either ISBCS or DSBCS.
  • Outcomes included intraoperative/postoperative complications, visual acuity, and VF-14 questionnaire data analyzed using repeated measures.

Implantation Protocol of the Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body for Complex Vitreoretinal Surgery

Published on: April 14, 2026

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were observed in surgical complications or visual acuity at 30 days between ISBCS and DSBCS.
  • Self-perceived visual function showed a moderate effect size for ISBCS and a small effect size for DSBCS at 30 days, which normalized by 1 year.
  • No relevant surgical complications occurred in 1614 operated eyes.

Conclusions:

  • ISBCS and DSBCS are comparable in terms of safety and effectiveness for bilateral cataract surgery.
  • Careful patient selection, surgical expertise, and adherence to standardized aseptic guidelines contribute to excellent outcomes.
  • Both surgical timing approaches yield satisfactory long-term visual function.
