- Title
Indications for cataract surgery in a changing world.
- Authors
Lundström, Mats; Stenevi, Ulf
- Abstract
The author reflects on the society-related aspect to indications for cataract surgery and how the wealth of a society/country and its reimbursement rules influence the indication for surgery in the real world. It notes that in most developed countries, clear lens extraction is being promoted to avoid correction for presbyopia. It points out that the mixture of what society can afford and the backlog of unoperated cases determine the practical indication for cataract surgery in each country.
