title: [Age dependence of visual acuity after incomplicated cataractoperation (author's transl)].
abstract: The results of visual acuity in 1523 cataract-extractions were evaluated; comparing the visual acuity of the 7th to the 9th postoperative days, when the patients left the hospital. 73,1% of the patients had a supplemental disease of the eye or another general disease. 76,6% of the patients had a postoperative visual acuity between 5/4 and 5/15, clearly depending on the age of the patients. General diseases influence scarcely surgery, but the older the patients the more we find a reduced visual acuity that is reduced by generative senile macula disease. On an average they stayed in hospital for 9,4 days.
