    Abstract:

    AIM: To evaluate the effect of cataract surgery on sleep quality and to compare the difference between ultraviolet-blocking clear intraocular lens (UVB-IOL) and blue-filtering intraocular lens (BF-IOL) implantation. METHODS: Electronic search was performed of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library up to January 2016. Studies were eligible when they evaluated the sleep quality before and after cataract surgery by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). A random/fixed-effects Meta-analysis was used for the pooled estimate. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I2 test. RESULTS: Six studies were selected from 5623 references. Cataract surgery significantly reduced the PSQI scores at postoperative 0-3mo [mean difference (MD) =-0.62, 95%CI: -1.14 to -0.11, P=0.02, I2=66%] and 3-12mo (MD=-0.32, 95%CI: -0.62 to -0.02, P=0.04, I2=0), respectively. Considering different intraocular lens (IOL) implantations, relative post-operative PSQI reduction was found for both UVB-IOL and BF-IOL, but a significant reduction was detected only for UVB-IOL. No significant difference was found with the effect of BF-IOL vs UVB-IOL on sleep quality. CONCLUSION: This study found that cataract surgery significantly improved the PSQI score-derived subjective sleep quality irrespective of the IOL type implanted. These findings highlight a substantial benefit of cataract surgery on systemic health with photoreceptive restoration in addition to visual acuity improvements.
