Effect of Minimizing Light Exposure Intensity on Macular Function After Cataract Surgery in Patients With Early or Intermediate AMD

Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical interventions worldwide. The microscope light-induced retinal toxicity after cataract surgery has been described in several reports even in short procedures; however, this potential toxicity has not been evaluated by objective criteria. Indeed, this retinal phototoxicity would be increased for patients with mild macular diseases such as early stages of AMD (Aged Macular Degeneration) (ie: drusen) which are frequently associated in elderly patients with cataract. The aim of the study will be to assess the potential functional macular effects by focal and multifocal ERG after cataract surgery with NGenuity by comparison to Standard Operating Microscope (SOM). This study would particularly address eyes at risk for macular toxicity like patients with early or intermediate AMD
