Gadzhanova S, et al. - Using the Australian Government Department Veterans’ Affairs claims data, researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study to study the impact of the type of the intraocular lenses (IOLs) in first-eye cataract surgery in elderly people on the risk of hospitalisation due to injuries and falls. Between January 2007 and July 2017, all people aged 65 years and above who had first cataract surgery were identified. Findings revealed that there were 45,728 people across the two cohorts with the majority receiving monofocal lenses, followed by multifocal lenses at the time of first cataract surgery. Regardless of age, multifocal lenses did not seem to be linked to the higher risk of serious injuries and falls after first-eye cataract surgery vs monofocal lenses.
