Background: Every year the Austrian Commission for Cataract Surgery and Intraocular Implants, conducts a national survey of all eye surgery departments in Austria.
Material And Methods: The questionnaires were sent to departments of ophthalmology in Austria and were anonymously returned either printed or via an online form. Before analyzing the results it is important to consider that participation was voluntary and compared to the data of previous years.
Results: The responses of 18 departments of ophthalmology with a total of 149 are presented in this publication and combined with data from previous years.The participation rate was 72.4% with a total of 52,059 cataract surgeries reported. Compared to the previous year this amounts to a decrease of 24.8%; however, this is most likely caused by restrictions of elective surgery in association with the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic.

Background: To evaluate the biosafety, reduction in anterior capsule opacification, and fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a new phakic refractive lens (PRL) with a sinusoidal drainage groove design.
Methods: This self-controlled experiment was performed on eight eyes of four rabbits. Each rabbit was implanted with a sinusoidal PRL (PRL-S5) in the right eye and a conventional posterior chamber PRL (PC-PRL) in the left eye.

The objective of this study is to investigate the association between the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and cataracts. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2005-2008 NHANES to examine the relationship between the SII and cataract prevalence. Covariates included age, race/ethnicity, gender, education level, marital status, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

Background: To investigate the spatial and morphologic features of lenses with different axial length (ALs) in cataract patients using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Methods: Totally 105 eyes of 105 patients scheduled to have cataract surgery were included. Eyes were divided into the control (AL < 24.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have become crucial in assessing cataract surgery, especially with increasing patient expectations. The RayPro database offers a platform for tracking PROMs after surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate determinants of patient satisfaction following cataract surgery by analysing PROMs.
