Goldman HB et al. - Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation is the most frequently performed operation in the Medicare Part B population. Such patients will seek the advice of their primary care practitioner, and the safety of the procedure may depend on the information the practitioner provides to the surgeon and anesthesia team. This article reviews pertinent issues surrounding the decision to operate; how various intraocular lens implants are selected; how surgery is now performed; postoperative complications, activities, and care; the role of the primary care physician; and the issue of medical clearance for this procedure.
