Current Trends in Cataract Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Cataract is a congenital or degenerative eye disease that leads to clouding of the lens. During the course of the disease, macules and clouded areas develop on the lens of the eye. As a result, it can cause impaired visual acuity and even blindness. The disease usually occurs at an older age. Currently, we are observing an increasing number of people suffering from this condition. Civilization diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are one of the predisposing factors for the accelerated development of cataract. Cataract can only be treated surgically with the implantation of a new lens. Today’s ophthalmology is facing this disease using modern surgical techniques such as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) or the two-sided small-cut technique biaxial microincision surgery. Cataract surgery is performed frequently and is considered a safe procedure. However, undesirable effects such as dry eye syndrome can occur. Currently, cataract surgery not only has a rehabilitative aim to improve visual quality, but to increasingly compensate for refractive errors and increase independence from optical aids. This Special Issue aims at collect high-quality publications on cataract surgery that include, but are not limited to, cataract surgery technics, surgical approach to challenging cases and side effect prevention, adequate refractive power calculation, application of premium IOLs such toric and EDOF and monofocal plus IOLs and age-related macular degeneration special IOLs.
