“…[9][10][11] The presenting visual acuity in both hospitals were similar and comparable to those in other African studies. [1,[9][10][11] This shows that majority were operated when they were already blind or severely visually impaired. Thus, treatment was more of sight restoration than blindness prevention, a situation which is more likely to be associated with a large backlog of cataract blind patients requiring surgery.…”

“…Therefore, more cataract surgeries are still needed to be done at an earlier stage in order to clear this backlog. The eighth week post-operative visual acuity at both hospitals is similar to that obtained in other studies in Nigeria, [9,10] but better than the report of Bekibele [11] in SMEH in 1999. This may be due to improvement in surgical skills as well as availability of facilities for biometric measurements over the years.…”

“…Similar age range have also been reported in Africa 13,14 and Asia 15 There were more males than females in this study. Several studies have found a male preponderance among cataract patients presenting to eye clinics in Nigeria 12 and Africa. 13,14 Although women have been shown to have a slightly increased age adjusted risk of cataract, 16 they do not receive cataract surgery at the same rate as men.…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to determine the visual outcome of patients who had cataract surgery in the University College Hospital Ibadan.Methodology:This is an observational descriptive, longitudinal study of consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery at the University College Hospital conducted between May and October 2007. A total of 184 patients who presented to the hospital and met the inclusion criteria were recruited into the study. Patients were examined preoperatively, 1st day postoperatively and 8th week postoperatively.Results:The mean age was 66.5 years; and the male to female ratio was 1.2:1. Preoperatively, 137 patients (74.5%) were blind in the operated eye, while 39 patients (23.6%) were blind in both eyes at presentation. At 1st day postoperatively, 87 patients (47.3%) had pinhole visual acuity of 6/6-6/18. Best corrected vision after refraction eight weeks postoperatively showed that 127 patients out of 161 patients (78.8%) had good vision while 28 patients (17.4%) had borderline vision, and six patients (3.8%) had severe visual impairment after refraction. The number of bilaterally blind patients also reduced from 39 (23.6%) to one (0.6%). Uncorrected refractive error was the commonest cause of poor vision prior to refraction. Glaucoma was the commonest ocular co-morbidity accounting for poor vision in 9.1% of patients eight weeks after cataract surgery.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that good results can be obtained with cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation in the developing world. More attention should be directed towards ensuring that successful outcomes are indeed being realized by continued monitoring of postoperative visual outcomes and prompt refraction for all patients.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the socio-demographic profile of people accessing cataract surgery at a free cataract surgical Camp in Kafanchan.Methods: One hundred and nine participants had manual small cataract incision surgery with intraocular lens over a three-month period (September to November 2018) and were followed up for two months. Visual acuity was assessed at first day and two months post-op along with refraction and best corrected visual acuity. Their socio-demographic features along with duration of lost vision and cause of delay in cataract surgery were also noted.Results: Fifty-five males and fifty- four females had cataract surgery and were followed up for two months post-op. Fifty (45.9%) had no formal education while fifty-nine (54.1%) had formal education. Among those with formal education 59% (34) were males while 41% (20) were females. Majority of participants earned less than two hundred and fifty thousand naira (six hundred and twenty-five US dollars) annually. Eighty-two (75%) of participants were Christians and 71 (65%) lived in rural areas. Sixty-five (60%) had lost vision in the index eye more than one year prior to presentation for surgery and the main reason in this study for delay in having cataract surgery was immaturity of the cataract.Conclusions: Some socio-demographic factors are barriers to cataract surgery.
