“…There was no statistical significant between the means (p > 0.05). However, our findings were to some extent, comparable with two studies conducted in Ethiopia, first study [6] reported that the mean age of their study cataract patients was 64.16 ± 8.83 years (range, 50-90 years), and the second study [22] reported that the mean age of their study cataract patients was 64.2 ± 14.6 years. Other study conducted in Bangladesh [23] reported that, the mean age of their study subject was 58.8 ± 6.055 years.…”

“…Studies showed that the reasons for delaying the treatment in time are: low economic status, lack of transportation, wrong perception, residual vision and poor knowledge regarding risk factors and nature of disease and treatment options [5]. Various studies across world described its association with different other factors like advancing age, sunlight (UV) exposure, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking etc., and many of which are modifiable [6,7].…”

The objective is to determine the demographic characteristics, and the proportion of associated factors of cataract. This was a hospital based cross-sectional study among adult patients attending Makkah hospital in Aden. We obtained all demographic and associated factors of cataract. SPSS 17 version was used. All variables were compared according to the sex and age groups. Variables were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Chi-square analysis was used. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The study patients were 186 cataract patients, (Females were 51.1% and males were 49.9%). The age of the patients ranged between 25 to 92 years and the mean age was 61.1 ±11.1 years. The majority patients (82.8%) were of the age group > 50 years. Most of the patients were from urban 56.5%. About (15.6%) cataract patients were smokers. Most of smokers were males 12.9%. One hundred and eleven (59.7%) of the patients gave history of exposure to sunlight, (p = 0.000). Housewives represented (39.2%), (p=0.000). About (14.7%) of the patients were diabetic. Cataract is the commonest cause of visual impairment worldwide and though it affects all age groups. It is more prevalent among people aged 50 years and more. Old age patients from urban and rural areas are the most commonly affected by cataract.

Purpose: To examine the difference in post-operative visual outcomes of cataract surgeries between a tertiary and secondary centre at Aravind Eye Hospitals in Tamil Nadu, India. Methods: Our retrospective cross-sectional study analysed cataract surgeries at a secondary centre and its associated tertiary centre in 2021. Our main outcome measures were postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Twosample proportion tests, regression analyses, and logistic probability analyses were performed.Results: The analysis of 32,302 cataract surgeries in 2021 of which 4,357 were performed at the secondary centre and 27,945 were performed at the tertiary centre showed that the tertiary centre operated on more advanced cataract condition (p<0.001) and had higher incidence of patients with ocular comorbidity (p<0.001). Intraoperative (p<0.001) and post-operative complication rates (p<0.001) were higher in the tertiary centre. The odds of effective outcomes (BCVA >=6/12) controlling for all covariates are poorer (p<0.0001) in the tertiary centre for both phacoemulsi cation (phaco) and manual small incision cataract surgeries (MSICS).Conclusion: World Health Organization recommendations for the effective outcome of cataract surgery are met by both the tertiary and secondary centres, but the odds of effective outcomes in MSICS in the tertiary centre was lower after adjusting for all known factors. Further investigations of the causes of poor vision in MSICS in the tertiary centre are needed to improve the situation.
