Summary
To-date there have been only very few studies to examine the effect of cataract surgery to
patients with wet age-related macular degeneration. The evidence on the effects of cataract
surgery in such patients suggests improvement of their visual function and quality of life,
but at the same time a subclinical susceptibility to macular edema and exacerbation of the
choroidal neovascularization. Therefore it is highly important to identify the optimum
treatment regime, pursuing the best anatomical and functional postoperative results.
