Effect of cataract surgery on wet age‐related macular degeneration activity

Abstract: Background: Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and age-related cataract are often coexisting causes of visual impairment. Yet, the timing of cataract surgery in wet AMD patients is controversial. Methods: One hundred and eleven eyes of 111 patients with wet AMD underwent cataract surgery at Helsinki University Hospital in Finland during 2014-2018. Best-corrected visual acuity and central subfield macular thickness (CSMT) were analysed at the time of wet AMD diagnosis, at the last recording prior to cat… Show more

“…Even more demanding cataract surgery does not increase the risk of pre-existing GA progression [35]. Equally, satisfactory visual outcomes and controlled disease activity were found in patients with wet AMD after cataract surgery [36]. There was no case of rapid worsening of GA, no change to neovascular AMD, and no need for anti-VEGF application after SML implantation in our study.…”

“…AREDS (age-related eye disease study)는 나이관련황반변성을 진단받은 1,939안을 대상으로 시행한 코호트 연구로 백내장 수술을 시행하 고 최소 18개월까지 경과를 보았고 그 기간 내에 유의한 시력호전 을 보였다고 하였다[33]. 그 외에도 백내장수술이 나이관련황반변 성의 질병 활성도에 영향을 미치지 않으며 시력 호전을 보인다는 연구는 다수 있었다[34][35][36]. 그러므로 백내장 수술과 동시에 유리 체강내 베바시주맙 주입술을 시행하는 경우 발생할 수 있는 백내장 수술 후 발생할 수 있는 황반부종을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 생각되 었다.…”
