“…This may be due to the fact that the age range of the population studied in Sydney was higher (60 years and above) compared to this study in which 40 years and above was studied. However, other studies done in India (20.59%) [11] and Saudi-Arabia (30.5%) [17] gave lower prevalence which may be because the patients in the Indian study were initially screened at an eye camp before being referred to the study centre so some individuals with uncontrolled systemic hypertension might not have been referred. Diabetes mellitus was present in 9.8% of the participants which was higher than the prevalence in a study done by Behera et al [11] in India (5.9%).…”

“…Patient's medical problem is an important factor to consider in planning for cataract surgery because presence of uncontrolled systemic co-morbidities had been associated with increase of peri-operative complications [10,11]. These complications include retrobulbar hemorrhage, expulsive choroidal haemorrhage, posterior capsular rent, posterior capsular opacity, intra-operative hyphaema, delayed wound healing, severe post-operative inflammation and endophthalmitis [12,13].…”

Background: Barriers to uptake of cataract surgery in a developing country like Nigeria are numerous, most researches focus on patient related factor like financial constraint however this study aims to assess the systemic co-morbidities that act as a barrier to uptake of cataract surgery at University College Hospital Ibadan, Oyo-State, Nigeria so that measures can be put in place to minimize this effect and thereby increase cataract surgery uptake in the centre.Results: Three hundred and eighty-eight cataract patients participated in the study. The mean age of the patients was 66.6±11.2years with a range of 40 to 90 years. More than half (66.2%) of the study participants had systemic comorbidities. Poorly controlled systemic hypertension is the most common cause of systemic co-morbidities that constitute significant barrier to uptake of cataract surgery.Conclusion: There is a need for good and close collaboration between the physicians and the ophthalmologists so as to make management of cataract patients with systemic co-morbidities easier and more efficient at the Eye
