[The Role of Hospitals in the Treatment of Patients with Cataract in Germany: Systematic Analysis of the Quality Reports of German Hospitals for the Years 2006 to 2016].

DISCUSSION: A stable and significant proportion of cataract operations in Germany is still carried out in hospitals. The total number of cataract operations has increased. After increasing between 2006 and 2010, the proportion of cataract operations carried out as outpatient procedures remained stable. This sustained demand may be triggered by a group of patients who, due to medical and/or social reasons, require treatment under inpatient conditions.
