Key Points

This research aims to investigate the impact of cataract surgery on cognitive function and blood-brain barrier integrity in older adults.
The study involved older adults undergoing cataract surgery.
Cognitive assessments and blood-brain barrier evaluations were conducted before and after surgery.
Cataract surgery led to improvements in cognitive performance in participants post-surgery.
Blood-brain barrier integrity showed significant enhancement after visual restoration.

Implication

Evaluates cognitive and blood-brain barrier changes after cataract surgery in older adults, suggesting visual restoration may enhance neurovascular function.

Abstract

To investigate cognitive, structural, and blood–brain barrier (BBB) changes associated with cataract surgery in older adults, exploring visual restoration as a modulator of neurovascular and cognitive function.
