    Day-case cataract surgery is effective and economical for carefully selected patients. This prospective trial found that day-case management offers advantages over inpatient care for senile cataract extraction.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Cataract extraction is commonly delayed until bilateral impairment necessitates surgery.
    • Bilateral cataract surgery is often performed sequentially, allowing for direct patient comparison.
    • Day-case and inpatient surgical management for senile cataract require comparative analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the outcomes of day-case versus inpatient surgery for senile cataract.
    • To evaluate patient management and economic considerations for both surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective trial involving 138 patients aged 50 years or older undergoing cataract surgery.
    • Patients were randomly allocated to have their first eye (worse vision) managed as day-case or inpatient.

  • Outcomes including visual acuity and intraocular pressure were assessed at 2-3 months and 1 year post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • Careful patient selection is crucial for successful day-case cataract surgery.
    • Day-case surgery demonstrated advantages in patient management and cost-effectiveness.
    • No significant differences in visual acuity or intraocular pressure were noted between the two groups at follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Day-case cataract surgery is a viable and advantageous option for selected patients.
    • The benefits of day-case surgery, including economic considerations, outweigh potential disadvantages.
    • This approach supports efficient patient management in cataract treatment.
