According to a recent study published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), people who undergo cataract vision correction surgery actually live longer than those who don?t. ?We think it has something to do with an improved lifestyle which results from better vision,? says Dr. Stewart Shofner of Shofner Vision Center in Nashville, TN.
?In addition to this recent study which indicates that people who have had cataract surgery are living longer, another study has suggested that cataract surgery can reduce hip-fracture risks in seniors,? says Dr. Shofner. ? Our patients have said they are able to enjoy driving again, playing sports, reading, and doing other activities they were uncomfortable doing prior to cataract removal surgery. Dr. Shofner adds, ?The most recent study suggests that people who have had the surgery tend to be more active, optimistic, and have greater confidence needed to live independently.?
