Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with age ≥ 65 years undergoing cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is indicated by the medical-scientific community according to good clinical practice and not influenced by the study's criteria. The purpose of the study is to add clinical-scientific information of any relevance.
Exclusion
- Patient refusal
- Diagnosis of dementia by the specialist in neurocognitive diseases (neurologist and / or geriatrician)
- maculopaties and other ophthalmopaties (according to diagnosis of ophthalmologist specialist) because the visual capacity is invalidated regardless of the opacification of the crystalline and therefore the cognitive function is not affected by a post-intervention improvement.
- Patients who have performed cataract surgery in at least one eye since the previous cataract operation may have already caused changes in cognitive function causing confusion about the results of the study.
