为了评估在意大利裔美国人的自然历史研究中，年龄相关性白内障的随访研究参与者共1399名年龄相关性白内障患者接受了5年的定期随访，白内障状态通过透镜混浊分类系统II进行评估。灯和反光透镜照片。在研究期间，共有228名参与者的1只眼睛进行了白内障手术，192名参与者进行了足够的随访以纳入分析。主要结果测量白内障的发病率/进展被定义为两次或更多次连续随访，严重程度等级大于基线等级。特定类型白内障的发病率/进展与对侧眼的白内障手术无关，与未接受白内障手术的参与者观察到的结果无显著差异。对侧眼中特定透镜混浊的进展速率。
OBJECTIVETo evaluate whether, in the Italian-American natural history study, cataract surgery in one eye influences the incidence/progression rate of lens opacities in the fellow eye.DESIGNFollow-up study of age-related cataract.PARTICIPANTSA total of 1399 participants with age-related cataracts were regularly followed for 5 years and cataract status evaluated by the Lens Opacities Classification System II on slit-lamp and retroillumination lens photographs. A total of 228 participants had cataract surgery in 1 eye during the study period, and 192 had sufficient follow-up visits to be included in the analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREThe incidence/progression of cataract was defined as two or more consecutive visits with a severity grade greater than the baseline grade.RESULTSWhen entered into a Cox model, incidence/progression of specific cataract types was not associated with cataract surgery on the fellow eye and was not significantly different from that observed in participants who had no cataract surgery.CONCLUSIONSCataract extraction does not influence incidence/progression rate of specific lens opacities in the fellow eye.
