Cataract surgery utilization in Parkinson's disease: the english longitudinal survey on ageing.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Older adults with Alzheimer's disease are less likely to be offered cataract surgery than the general population, but these disparities have not been examined in the context of other neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
