Globally, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness, responsible for 51% of world blindness, representing 20 million people in 2010. Cataracts are a global health priority for the WHO. The prevalence increases with age. In the UK, cataracts are thought to affect around half of those aged >65 years to some degree, rising to 70% in those aged >85yrs. Surgical removal of the cataract is the only effective treatment to restore or maintain vision. Pain and inflammation are common post surgery [1].
