Cataract surgery itself is not limited to age, currently the highest age of 106 years old. But elderly patients, mainly worried about some cardiovascular accidents during surgery. One is that the doctor's technical level is very high, the current highest level of doctors to do a cataract surgery, has been less than two minutes can be completed. The shorter the time, the higher the quality of surgery, surgery without pain, the lower the probability of this risk for patients. Second, before surgery, we must conduct a more detailed internal medicine consultation, do ECG, etc., so that physicians can evaluate whether there is a risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents during surgery. Generally speaking, we are not worried about old age at present. As long as we can lie flat for 5 minutes, we can basically complete the surgery well and restore a clear world. Of course, this requires doctors to reach a very high level of technology, which will be safer for elderly patients undergoing surgery.
