Abstract:
To evaluate complications resulting from increased bleeding, 2,178 cataract surgery patients, 28 of whom were on anticoagulants, were studied prospectively. The anticoagulated patients showed no increase in sight-threatening complications when compared to the nonanticoagulated cataract patients.
