The demand for cataract surgery continues to increase, especially in developed countries with an ever increasing aging population. In a study of 10 European countries, Mojon-Azzi demonstrated that waiting times differ significantly between the 10 analysed European countries. Length of wait was most significantly influenced by the total expenditure on health in each country. It was not, however, affected by other country specific health indicators.

Coats’ disease remains a problem in terms of what treatment should be undertaken and when. Adam and coworkers reviewed 10 patients who were treated for Coats’ disease, nine of whom were male. In this small series the authors concluded that in the setting of advanced Coats’ disease minimally invasive surgery with vitreous infusion through the pars plana combined with external drainage and sub-retinal fluid together with cryotherapy and/or laser photocoagulation is sufficient to effect retinal reattachment and prevent loss of the eye.
