Risk of falls increases between cataract surgeries

The finding that corrective eye surgery may - at least temporarily - be linked to an increase in falls comes after years of conflicting study results on the subject, researchers write in the journal Age and Ageing. But the topic remains important as the global population ages and demand for cataract surgery increases.
