Is There an Association Between Cataract Surgery and Age-related Macular Degeneration? Data From Three Population-based Studies
Am J Ophthalmol 2003;135:849–856.
A history of cataract surgery may be associated with an increased prevalence of late AMD. However, having a severe cataract in the eye may also be associated with a higher prevalence of late AMD. Additional research is needed to investigate whether a causal relationship exists between cataract surgery and AMD or whether this relationship is due to residual confounding or bias.
