Can cataract surgery delay dementia?
Recently, this finding has been confirmed by an analysis of the preliminary results of an ongoing prospective study in the United States that reported that immediate cataract surgery in patients with dementia complicated by cataracts can significantly improve vision, quality of life and behavioral symptoms; and It also appears to slow the rate of cognitive decline, reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms, and reduce caregiver stress.
The work of an ophthalmologist is extremely rewarding, and cataract patients whose vision interferes with their daily life and work should be operated on promptly for the benefit of their physical and mental health!
