ABSTRACT
Aims and Objective
- The incidence of traumatic cataract patients attending hospital
- The associated ocular morbidities of traumatic cataract.
- To assess the visual outcome following cataract surgeries in eyes with traumatic cataract
Methods and materials: A total of 50 patients with traumatic cataract were taken up for the study. A thorough history and a detailed ocular examination were done. After proper pre-operative investigations and preparation, patients underwent surgery.
Results and observation: Among the 50 cases of Traumatic cataract, 17 cases (34%) were less than 10 years of age. A male preponderance was seen .37(74%) were males and 13 (26%) were females. 28 (56%) cases were due to blunt trauma and 22 cases (44%) were due to penetrating injury. Corneal involvement was the commonest in the form of corneal scars, opacity etc. 39 cases (78%) underwent SICS with PCIOL implantation. Lens aspiration with PCIOL in 3 cases, phacoemulsification with PCIOL in 4 (8%) cases. The final visual acuity recorded at the end of 6 weeks was found to be 6/6-6/18 in 23 (79.31%) cases, less than 6/18-3/60 in 9 cases (19.15%) cases, none of the patients had a visual acuity less than 6/60.
Conclusion: Visual prognosis depends on early reporting and diagnosis followed by proper management.
