Surgical Interventions for Age-Related Cataract

In this Cochrane systematic review, the Cochrane Collaborative found that in people with age-related cataract, phacoemulsification results in better vision than extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with sutures. Researchers also found evidence that ECCE with a lens implant results in better vision than intracapsular cataract extraction with glasses. They noted that phacoemulsification is not accessible to poorer countries because of cost.
