Direct oral anticoagulants were developed as alternatives to warfarin. They provide predictable and fixed-dose anticoagulation without the need for blood-test monitoring. 1 Available novel oral anticoagulants include dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), and apixaban (Eliquis). These drugs directly inhibit activated clotting factors. Dabigatran inhibits factor IIa (thrombin); apixaban and rivaroxaban inhibit factor Xa (Figure 1). In contrast, warfarin inhibits the vitamin-K pathway and affects factors II, VII, IX, X, and proteins S and C. 2 Warfarin is a difficult and sometimes dangerous drug to use clinically due to its narrow therapeutic range (Table 1). Numerous dietary, pharmacologic, and genetic factors can influence its safety and efficacy. 3 Direct oral anticoagulants are less susceptible to these influences and therefore provide safer and more effective anticoagulation without the need for routine monitoring. Idarucizumab, a reversal agent for dabigatran, was recently approved in the United States and Great Britain. 4 However, no effective reversal agent is currently available for rivaroxaban or apixiban although several are in development. 1To date, no study has addressed the risk for hemorrhagic complications during cataract surgery related to direct oral anticoagulants. In contrast, warfarin has been extensively studied in the context of cataract surgery and has consistently shown no increased risk for sight-threatening complications such as choroidal/suprachoroidal hemorrhage, posterior capsule rupture, hyphema, retrobulbar hemorrhage, or peribulbar hemorrhage when used in the therapeutic range.
