“…Cataracts continue to be a deadly ailment in rural Namakkal, just as they are in neighbouring districts. According to previous study, 60% of the participants who were 65 years of age or older had a cataract diagnosis [ 22 ]. Nonetheless, our research revealed that women were far more likely than men to get cataracts.…”

The leading cause of blindness in the world is cataracts, which are dangerous and curable with proper eye care. Eye care service is thought to play significant role in prevention. Nonetheless, not much research has been done to gauge older persons' in rural India's level of cataract awareness and how it relates to their use of eye care services. Therefore, in order to prevent cataracts in the elderly, we described a self-instruction model for cataract knowledge and looked into the variations between pre- and post-test self-instruction models. Their demographic characteristics showed that the higher age group female had highest prevalence of cataracts. The study population's understanding of cataracts is incredibly low: only 2% of participants have adequate knowledge, 52% have somewhat adequate information, and 46% have inadequate knowledge. However, after completing the self-instructional module, 54% of participants felt they knew enough to prevent cataracts. The results of the study showed that the self-instructional module was very helpful in helping the senior population learn about cataract prevention. More interventional research with a larger sample size should be carried out to gain a better understanding of cataract prevention in older adults,.

ObjectiveTo investigate the difference in the effectiveness and refraction of the foldable capsular buckle (FCB) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).MethodsSix patients with simple RRD were treated for FCB scleral buckling at Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University from October 2023 to February 2024. The parameters assessed included demographic data, clinical data such as preoperative ocular axis, corneal endothelial count, macular foveal thickness, operative time, preoperative and final follow-up intro ocular pressure (IOP), retinal attachment status, and postoperative complications. Refractive change before and after surgery, including sphere, cylinder degree, spherical equivalent, and absolute spherical equivalent difference were compared.ResultsAll six patients with sound retinal reattachment after FCB scleral buckling, including two men and four women, mean age 41.33 ± 12.40 years old, duration before surgery onset to 7.17 ± 7.16 days, FCB mean operation time 36.67 ± 13.07 min, Preoperative IOP mean 13.35 ± 2.64 mmHg and mean 21.12 ± 8.09 mmHg of final follow-up IOP; there was no significant difference between preoperative IOP and follow-up IOP (p = 0.050). The preoperative sphere range was −6.25 to +2.50 D, and the cylinder range was −2.50 to +1.00 D; the absolute spherical equivalent difference before and after was 1.60 ± 1.69 degrees.ConclusionFCB can achieve retinal reattachment and restore visual function in cases of RRD. The shorter duration of external scleral buckle compression with FCB suggests that FCB scleral buckling holds greater promise in the clinical treatment of RRD caused by retinal tears.
