Cataract surgery is not associated with post-operative binocular vision anomalies in age-related cataract patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the binocular vision status of patients pre- and post-cataract surgery, and to investigate the risk factors for patients who develop binocular vision anomalies post-surgery.

Methods

A prospective study of patients (≥50 years) who elected to undergo bilateral cataract surgery was implemented. A comprehensive binocular vision test battery including stereopsis, ocular alignment, fusional vergence, vergence facility, near point of convergence and the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) was administered before the first surgery and at the third visit after surgery on the second eye. A detailed diagnostic classification protocol was applied to identify the presence of binocular vision anomalies pre- and post-surgery.
