Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Present study was conducted among 300 cataract patients of both the genders between 40-89 years to evaluate the visual outcome and complications’ following manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Demographic pattern of the study population with distribution of cataract was also assessed. After obtaining informed consent, patients were enrolled for study. After assessing the visual acuity and on finding the routine ocular examinations and investigations for cataract surgery to be normal, patients were admitted. After keratometry and biometry, and with preoperative measures, SICS was performed. Intraoperative complications were recorded at the end of surgery. The visual acuity and post-operative complications are evaluated on first post-operative day, at 2 weeks and at 6 weeks follow up period. Pre and post-operative corneal astigmatisms were recorded. Male patients were slightly more than females and cortical cataracts were maximally prevalent. Preoperative visual acuity ranged from perception of light to 6/24 whereas best corrected post-operative vision of 6/6 was attained in 90% patients. Astigmatism against the rule prevailed more both in pre and postoperative status of operated eyes. Both operative and postoperative complications were minimal and visual recovery was fast and excellent. MSICS is simple and is widely practised all over world particularly in developing nations to eliminate cataract blindness on mass scale.
