Binocular vision anomalies, especially convergence insufficiency, are prevalent in the age-related cataract population. Cataract surgery does not appear to be a significant risk factor for the development of new binocular vision anomalies. A pre-existing binocular vision anomaly is the main risk factor for predicting a post-operative binocular vision anomaly in this population.
