Popis: Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed ophthalmic surgical interventions. Cataract extraction technologies are being improved every year. The methods differ in technical features and implantable intraocular lenses. The choosing of the treatment method also depends on many factors. This paper analyzes the patient's choice of treatment method from the point of view of the "Theory of Generations", developed in 1991 by economist N. Howe and historian V. Strauss, based on retrospective material. The study showed that according to this classification, representatives of Generation X and "baby boomers" choose high-tech interventions more often than others.
