Cataract
Surgeon Andreas Wolter, M.D. of Seeta Eye Centers remarked on how cataracts
and cataract surgery impact driving safely, particularly with regard to
differences between men and women. “An interesting study on cataract surgery
and driving was reported in Clinical
& Experimental Ophthalmology whereby motor vehicle
accidents involving men decreased by 15.3% in the 12 months following cataract
surgery but the frequency of postoperative crashes didn't change significantly
for women,” noted Dr. Wolter.
“We know all too well that delaying cataract surgery often results in patients
modifying their lifestyles and activities. This is especially the case as
people
restrict their driving in response to health
and vision changes. We need to hear from patients about their driving habits
and whether they have had to change them as their cataracts develop-then we can
help,” said Dr. Wolter.
If
you or someone you know has a question about cataracts, cataract
surgery, lens implants or driving please feel free to call Seeta Eye Centers and schedule an eye
examination by calling 845-454-1025, visiting Seeta Eye Centers or
