How to manage cataract
http://www.100md.com 《英国医生杂志》
     Every five seconds someone in the world goes blind—about 40% of those people do so because of cataract, say Allen and Vasavada on page 128. This clinical review revisits the aetiology and symptoms of cataract, and looks at surgery for cataract—the commonest surgical procedure in the developed world. The authors discuss decisions for surgery in the developed and developing world and describe techniques, outcomes, and complications of different types of cataract surgery. Tips for non-specialists, a patient's story, unanswered research questions, and useful links for patients complement the article.
