СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ ХИРУРГИЧЕСКОГО ЛЕЧЕНИЯ ВОЗРАСТНОЙ КАТАРАКТЫ (ОБЗОР ЛИТЕРАТУРЫ)

Annotation. Cataracts (partial or complete disruption of the transparency of the lens) are one of the main causes of low vision and reversible blindness in the world. This literature review focuses on studies examining important aspects of the surgical treatment of age-related cataracts, such as the number and quality of surgeries performed on a population scale. The paper provides data on the influence of global trends, local territorial and social characteristics on the number of surgical interventions for cataracts. A review of key indicators for monitoring cataract surgery is provided, and the main factors influencing the target rates of cataract surgery on a regional scale are presented (age structure of the population, normative indications for surgical treatment, threshold values of visual acuity indicating the need for surgical intervention, and the proportion of people requiring in the surgical treatment of cataracts). It has been noted that low vision after cataract surgery is most often associated with the patient’s advanced age, concomitant systemic and ocular pathology, surgical complications, and inadequate intraocular correction.
