Key Points

  • To assess the incidence of cataract surgery and the outcomes on visual acuity in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
  • Analyzed incidence rates of cataract surgery in VKH patients
  • Evaluated postoperative visual acuity outcomes
  • Compared results based on treatment with immune-modulating therapy and corticosteroid history
  • Moderate risk of cataract surgery observed in VKH patients
  • Substantial improvement in visual acuity post-surgery
  • Better outcomes noted in eyes treated with immune-modulating therapy
  • Improved results in eyes without prior corticosteroid injections

Abstract

Patients with VKH have a moderate risk of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is associated with substantial and sustained VA improvement. More favorable outcomes were observed in eyes receiving IMT and in those without a history of regional corticosteroid injection.
