| Scientific title | Improvements in balance control, obstacle avoidance and step negotiation after cataract surgery. |
| Study objectives | Does early cataract surgery improve balance control and mobility performance? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Surgery: Cataract |
| Intervention | The study will be a randomised clinical trial with subjects being placed into a group obtaining early surgery or one obtaining surgery at the usual time. The early surgery group will be tested before and after the operation, while the other group will be tested twice before surgery with the same test-retest time interval. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Power statistics have been used to determine subject numbers required. Between group comparisons of visual function, postural stability/control and mobility measures. An alpha level of P <0.05 will be used to determine statistical significant differences. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
