Association of Blue Light-Filtering Intraocular Lenses With All-Cause and Traffic Accident-Related Injuries Among Patients Undergoing Bilateral Cataract Surgery in Finland.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Blue light-filtering (BLF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been widely used in clinical practice for more than 20 years and have been implanted in millions of patients with cataracts worldwide. However, little evidence on the association of BLF IOLs with injuries is available.

Objective

To assess the association of BLF IOLs with all-cause and traffic accident-related injuries and quality of vision while driving after bilateral cataract surgery.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective registry-based cohort study included patients who underwent bilateral cataract surgery between September 3, 2007, and December 14, 2018, and were followed until December 14, 2021. Surgery was performed at the Department of Ophthalmology, Kymenlaakso Central Hospital
