Objectives: To study the factors associated with development of presenile cataract among the total cataract patients who attended out-patient clinic of Ophthalmology department from January 2016 to July 2017 and to find out the proportion of different types of presenile cataract. Method: The study includes patients who had undergone cataract surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology Government Medical College, Ernakulam from January 2016 and June 2017. Data was retrospectively entered and analysed. Results: There were 100 (49 males and 51 females) patients between the age 30 and 50 years. Around 70 study participants had co-morbidities. The average axial length was 22.5532mm, the average haemoglobin content was 13.01 g/dL, average total count was 8590.85, average BL urea was 22.755 mg/dL, average serum creatinine concentration was 0.9611 mg/dL and average GRBS concentration was 131.43 mg/dL. Drug history of 69 patients was observed in the current study. Conclusion: The most common type of cataract seen was posterior subcapsular cataract followed by mature cataract. Diabetes mellitus was the predominant risk factor in posterior subcapsular cataract. Keywords: Presenile cataract; Risk factors; Posterior subcapsular cataract.

Cataracts are the world’s second leading cause of blindness, trailing only uncorrected refractive errors. Based on the 2014-2016 RAAB survey, the blindness prevalence in 15 Indonesian provinces ranged from 1.4% in West Sumatra and 4.4% in East Java. A cataract is a clouding of the intraocular crystalline lens, in which this cloudiness can lead to a decreased vision function, and even it may trigger the emergence of blindness. The blindness caused by cataracts is preventable. This research aims to identify and collect data on the frequency of cataract patient profiles at the Eye Polyclinic of PKU Muhammadiyah Rogojampi Hospital in 2021. The research method utilized in this study was a retrospective descriptive study by applying a cross-sectional approach. The research data were attained from the secondary data, particularly in medical record examinations at PKU Muhammadiyah Rogojampi Hospital. This study was conducted from June to October 2021. The population of this research consisted of all cataract patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Rogojampi Hospital, in which the sample comprised 41 respondents. The data analysis using univariate analysis was denoted in the frequency distribution table. The results demonstrated that out of 41 respondents, 19 patients (46%) were about 60-69 years old, 26 patients (63%) were males, and 12 patients (29%) worked as farmers.
