Деменция и катаракта представляют собой серьезную медико-социальную проблему, так как являются лидирующими причинами инвалидности среди взрослого населения. В настоящее время к предполагаемым механизмам, связывающим данные нозологии, относят общую патофизиологию, сенсорную депривацию, влияние нейродегенеративных процессов и циркадных ритмов, а также общие факторы риска. Ряд исследований указывает на потенциальную связь между снижением зрительных функций, обусловленных катарактогенезом, и прогрессированием когнитивных нарушений у возрастных пациентов. Экстракция катаракты может рассматриваться как потенциальное вмешательство, направленное на снижение риска развития и прогрессирования когнитивных расстройств. Необходимы дальнейшие исследования, направленные на уточнение влияния экстракции катаракты на прогрессирование уже развившейся деменции.

Both dementia and cataracts represent serious medical and social issue, as they are the leading causes of disability among the elderly population. Main hypotheses linking these age-related health problems are shared pathophysiology, sensory deprivation, circadian rhythm disruption, influence of neurodegenerative processes and general risk factors. Several studies indicate a potential link between the deterioration of visual function due to cataract formation and the progression of cognitive functions in older patients. Cataract extraction can be considered a guaranteed intervention aimed at reducing the risk of the incidence and progression of cognitive impairment. Further research is needed to clarify the role of cataract extraction in the progression of already developed dementia.
