title: [Cataract surgery of both eyes in the same surgical status: the advantages and risks].
abstract: The results of the operation for cataract at both eyes during the same operative stage in 50 patients at the Ophthalmologic Clinic Craiova, in the past three years, are discussed. The preoperative preparation, the surgical technique and the postoperative care were not different from those in the one-sided operation. The advantages of the operation at both eyes consist in the restoration of the binocular vision with the sensation of a better visual comfort, the resolution of cataract at both eyes during a single hospitalization, the shortening of confinement to bed, time and sanitary material saving. All these plead for and warrant the cataract operation at both eyes during a single stage.
