The Link Between Cataract Surgery and Reduced Dementia Risk

At the East Florida Eye Institute, we're more than just a leading eye care provider; we're your ally in achieving both visual and cognitive longevity. Our commitment is underpinned by the latest research, including a comprehensive study from Korea that indicates a pivotal link between cataract surgery and a reduced risk of dementia.

Understanding the Connection

The study, drawing from a vast sample of over 300,000 individuals, underscores the shared risk factors between cataracts and dementia, such as advanced age and systemic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. It's been found that cataract surgery, especially in those with a strong potential for good post-operative vision, may significantly decrease the risk of dementia, particularly in men and those under 65.
