RESUMEN

El objetivo principal de la cirugía de catarata es mejorar la visión, aunque tiene otros efectos sobre la salud en general como aumentar la capacidad de desplazamiento y facilitar la relación interpersonal del paciente. La catarata en adultos mayores puede coexistir con otras causas de discapacidad; su abordaje puede verse limitado debido a la restricción visual. La cirugía de catarata puede facilitar atender otras discapacidades, lo que amplifica su beneficio, aunque la agudeza visual se limite por comorbilidades. En esta revisión narrativa se aborda la discapacidad visual en pacientes con dos enfermedades extraoculares y cuatro oculares. Se destaca el beneficio que puede obtenerse al reducirla mediante la cirugía de catarata.
