Secondary outcomes of lens and cataract surgery: More than just “best-corrected visual acuity”
Most studies evaluating cataract surgery focus on the primary outcome of early, central, best-corrected visual acuity. However, cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) design have other secondary visual outcomes as well as impacts on various ocular tissues, the visual function, and quality of life.

Comparing Telephone Survey Responses to Best-Corrected Visual Acuity to Estimate the Accuracy of Identifying Vision Loss: Validation Study. [PDF]
Background Self-reported questions on blindness and vision problems are collected in many national surveys. Recently released surveillance estimates on the prevalence of vision loss used self-reported data to predict variation in the prevalence of objectively measured acuity loss among population groups for whom

Benefits of aflibercept treatment for age-related macular degeneration patients with good best-corrected visual acuity at baseline. [PDF]
AbstractCurrently, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is treated while patients exhibit good best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). However, previous clinical trials only include patients with poor BCVA. We prospectively analyzed the benefits of intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) treatment for AMD patients exhibiting good BCVA at baseline.
