To determine whether the use of a blue light-filtering intraocular lens (IOL) prevents the onset of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). More precisely, we examined the proportion of blue light-filtering IOL in a wet AMD patients' sample and compared it with a general North American pseudophakic population sample.
