This study found women need cataract surgery more often than men, but key surgical factors like age and lens power do not differ significantly between sexes. These factors do not require gender consideration for cataract and intraocular lens implant patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
  • Understanding demographic and biometric differences between sexes is important for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sex-based differences in cataract surgery patients.
  • To analyze parameters including age, axial length, lens implant power, keratometry, and corneal astigmatism.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 330 cataract surgery patients.
  • Comparison of six key parameters between male and female groups.

Main Results:

  • A significant 2:1 ratio favoring women requiring cataract surgery was observed.
  • No significant differences were found in age at surgery, axial length, lens implant power, keratometry, or corneal astigmatism between sexes.

Conclusions:

  • Demographic and biometric parameters analyzed do not show significant sex-based differences.
  • These parameters do not need to be considered in surgical decision-making for cataract and intraocular lens implants.
