| Summary: |
During the past decade,
advances in techniques and technology led to major
changes in cataract surgical practice patterns. In this
progression towards ever faster eye rehabilitation after
surgery, simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS)
may be the next and ultimate step. It is not routinely
performed: however, there are certain situations in
which SBCS might be beneficial to the patients. It has
been considered a good option in patients who have
significant cataract in both eyes and are not good
candidates for having anesthesia and surgery twice.
The question is, if the benefits by bilateral surgery
justify the risk of simultaneous complications, in
particular endophthalmitis. In this perspective we
present the clinical, social and economic advantages and
disadvantages of such surgical procedures. |
