“…The mean age at which patients with DED underwent cataract surgery was found to be 55 years, which was much early as compared to 70-75 years reported for most routine cataract surgeries (20)(21)(22). This is not surprising and is because of associated chronic inflammation, long-term and/or frequent use of topical or even systemic steroids, early presentation due to keratopathy, or early surgical planning for ease of surgery (23).…”

Cataract Surgery in Dry Eye Disease: Visual Outcomes and Complications

et al. 2020

Purpose: To describe the visual outcomes and complications following cataract surgery in dry eye disease (DED). Methods: This retrospective study included 668 eyes of 399 patients with DED, who underwent cataract surgery between 2011 and 2019 at our multi-tier ophthalmology hospital network. Based on etiology, they were divided into three groups: cicatrizing conjunctivitis (CC), meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and Sjogren's syndrome (SS). The data on demographics, visual impairment, surgical technique, visual outcomes, and complications were collected using an electronic medical record system. Median LogMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with interquartile range (IQR) was compared using Wilcoxon's rank sum test. Results: The median age at which cataract surgery was performed was 58 (IQR: 47-65) years. Etiology of DED was CC in 279, MGD in 255, and SS in 134 eyes. Most (471) eyes underwent phacoemulsification, under peribulbar anesthesia (548) through a temporal clear corneal incision (209) with foldable intraocular lens implantation (417). The overall median LogMAR BCVA improved from 1.1 (IQR: 0.6-2.1) at baseline to 0.3 (IQR: 0.1-0.7) and 0.1 (IQR: 0-0.65) at 1 and 6 weeks (p < 0.0001) post-operatively. The median 6 weeks post-operative BCVA was 0.3, 0.1, and 0.1 in CC, MGD, and SS, respectively, and significantly better than at baseline (p < 0.0001). The leading cause of sub-optimal vision was corneal scarring (44; 9%), and the most common complication was posterior capsular rupture with vitreous loss (23; 3%). Conclusion: Cataract surgery has good visual outcomes in patients with DED, without any disconcerting rate of complications. Pre-existing keratopathy is the main determinant of the extent of post-operative visual recovery.

“…1 Our result that males had an earlier mean age of first LE than females is comparable with other studies. In a retrospective review conducted from the operating records of 8256 cataract surgeries performed at the Waterford Regional Hospital, Republic of Ireland, O'Reilly et al 29 found the mean age at surgery between 1986 and 2003 to be 72.32 Ϯ 12.21 (SD) years for males and 74.89 Ϯ 11.03 (SD) years for females. The age profile did not change significantly over the 18-year study period; however, there was a significant increase in the proportion of women having LE.…”

“…Indeed, the reduction in glaucoma filtration surgery was observed in conjunction with a simultaneous and dramatic rise in cataract surgery by the same two consultant ophthalmic surgeons, suggesting that the observed decrease in the number of trabeculectomies was not attributable to a reduction in access to ophthalmic surgical services. 13 However, it is possible that, in a patient developing chronic angle-closure glaucoma, cataract extraction may result in reduced IOP and thus obviate the need for glaucoma filtration surgery. 5 It is possible that the threshold for surgical intervention could be influenced by financial incentivization, such as the method of remuneration to the operating surgeon.…”

Purpose To investigate whether new classes of glaucoma medication have influenced glaucoma filtration surgery over a 20-year period in the southeast region of Ireland. Methods All patients undergoing glaucoma filtration surgery between January 1986 and December 2005 in Waterford Regional Hospital were identified. The following data were recorded for each patient: age; sex; and type of filtration procedure. Results Over the 20-year study period two consultant ophthalmic surgeons performed a total of 760 glaucoma filtration procedures on patients aged over 20 years. The annual average number of glaucoma surgeries declined steadily, defined by availability of different topical anti-glaucoma medications, from an average of 23.75 surgeries per surgeon per year in the subperiod

Age and sex profile of patients having cataract surgery between 1986 and 2003

Abstract: The age profile of 8257 patients having cataract surgery did not change over the 18-year study period. A small but significant increase in the proportion of women having cataract surgery was noted in latter years. This data is useful to those involved in health care planning.
