Abstract

Method : Using annual statistics of major surgeries provided by the National Health Insurance Corporation, it figured out what changes come in visual acuity by the number of cataract surgeries nationwide plus age, gender, and geriatric disease every 3 years from 2013 to 2019 through joint point regression for statistics. Objective : This study is intended to identify the relationship between geriatric diseases (diabetes, hypertension, obesity) and visual acuity in geriatric cataract surgery patients. Result : First, geriatric diseases of cataract surgery patients were closely related to diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, and drinking. In particular, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking had a high prevalence rate. There was no difference in gender and age. Second, 72% of all geriatric cataract surgeries were performed at the clinic level, and intraocular lens that was used after geriatric cataract surgery accounted for the majority of monofocal intraocular lens as 96.6%. Third, the visual acuity in geriatric cataract surgery patients improved from an average of 0.40 before surgery to 0.06 after surgery, and visual acuity improvement was found in 95% of them. These results suggest that geriatric cataract patients can expect visual acuity stabilization and positive visual acuity improvement through early surgery.
