Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Backgrouund: Trauma is a leading cause of monocular blindness in the younger age group throughout the world.It is also a cause for significant morbidity.The morbidity becomes more compounded in the rural areas due to ignorance and lack of access to health facilities. Type of injury, preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative complications determine the visual prognosis. Assessment of the nature and extent of injuries will prepare the surgeon to deal with the eventualities arising intraoperatively and offer a better visual prognosis. Aim and objective:To assess the demographic profile,age of patients presenting with traumatic cataract.To evaluate the nature of injuries, factors and complications which determine the visual prognosis. Materials and Methods: The study is Hospital based, prospective study carried out for 25 months in the department of ophthalmology,Government Rajaji Hospital Madurai between August 2005 and September 2006.Detailed history regarding the demographic profile, the type,nature of injurywere collected. estimation of visal acuity, anterior segment examination, slit lamp & fundus examination, intraocularpressure, intraoperative &postoperative complications both immediate and delayed were noted to assess the visual prognosis. Results: data was analysed using SSPA and the results were tabulated based on age,sex,nature of injury,time of onset, type of cataract, visual acuity, preoperative ,intaoperative and postoperative complications Conclusion: Traumatic cataract is a distinct entity associated with a poor visual prognosis compared to age related cataract.The outcome being determined bythe nature of injury and associated complications due to injury. Proper education, timely attention and prudent management is essential in these cases to provide a reasonable visual acuity
