CATARACT SURGERY PREVENTS HIP FRACTURES
It makes sense that visual impairment might lead to increased risk of bone fractures among seniors because they are more susceptible to falls. Now, a recent study involving more than one million Medicare patients who have undergone cataract surgery shows just how beneficial restored vision can be. The study compared patients who had cataract surgery with those who did not one year after their diagnosis. Researchers found that those who underwent surgery lowered their risk of hip fracture by 16 percent. Those who had severe cataracts and underwent surgery reduced their risk by 23 percent. These findings show that cataract surgery not only brings immediate vision-related benefits, but also lifestyle and safety benefits. Cataracts can develop in one
or both eyes. We welcome you to our practice. Our courteous staff is professional and well trained. We care about and appreciate our patients and want to be sensitive to their needs. Having your eyes examined can be a pleasant, painless and satisfying experience. We’re located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. Please call us at 201 896-0096 (our optical shop 201 896-0007) to schedule an appointment for quality eye care. We're taking eye care into the new millennium. Come in and visit our optical shop. Our staff is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish. Dr. DeLuca has been selected as one of the best Doctors in America and also to The America’s Top Ophthalmologists. P.S. The success rate of cataract surgery is in excess of 99 percent.
