Aim: To evaluate results of cataract surgery in Eye Camp in rural areas. Patients and Method: This study set about the retrospective analysis of cases and operating reports of patients over the age of 10, operated for cataract in Eye Camp and fixed strategy from January, 2010 to December, 2012. Postoperative data were specified and compared. Results: Out of a total of 1145 patients operated, 577 (50.40%) were men compared with 568 (49.60%) women. The general mean age was 62 years, similar in Eye Camp and in fixed strategy. Sixty percent of patients were operated in Eye Camp. After 4 weeks of follow-up, 77% of patients were met again, and 83% among them showed good results (corrected visual acuity = 3/10). This rate of good results was 80.43% in Eye Camp against 87.7% in fixed strategy. We noted 18.25% of complications among which 11.25% were in Eye Camp. The functional outcomes of both strategies get closer to WHO standards. Conclusion: Eye Camp in the Central Region of Togo is an interesting alternative that contributes to the fight against blindness, even if postoperative follow-up is still to be improved.

“…We also found that the level of visual impairment experienced by CPEO patients is significant when compared to that reported in common ophthalmic conditions such as cataract, 4 glaucoma, 5 and age-related macular degeneration (Table 3). 6 We were surprised that there were no significant differences in VF-14 scores between patients with and without diplopia.…”

“…2 As ophthalmoplegia is one of the most common manifestations of mitochondrial cytopathies, any mitochondrial disease rating scale should include questions about visual function. 3 The Visual Function Index (VF-14) is a standardised vision-related quality-of-life instrument that has been validated in a wide range of ophthalmic conditions such as cataract surgery, 4 glaucoma, 5 age-related macular degeneration, 6 corneal transplantation, 7 retinal disease, 8 myopia, 9 and patients attending low-vision services. 10 Here, we report the first study to assess visual function in patients suffering from a mitochondrial disorder with ocular manifestations: CPEO.…”

Aims To assess the visual function of patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) using the Visual Function Index (VF-14). To identify discriminatory questions that reflect visual disability in mitochondrial ocular myopathies. To investigate the relationship between visual impairment and the ocular parameters routinely measured in clinical practice. Methods We studied 40 CPEO patients. Each patient underwent ophthalmological assessment, including best-corrected visual acuity, ptosis measures, and fundus examination for pigmentary retinopathy, and orthoptic assessment including cover test in the primary position, assessment of diplopia, and measurement of uniocular fields of fixation using the Goldmann perimeter. Patients were interviewed by telephone by an independent observer and their visual function was assessed using the VF-14. Results A total of 38 patients (95%) were visually impaired. The mean VF-14 was 72 (95% CI 66-79). Patients reported having the most difficulty with reading small print and driving at night. No significant correlation was found between the VF-14 and ocular motility parameters, ptosis, or pigmentary retinopathy. Conclusions CPEO is associated with significant visual impairment. Measures of visual disability should be included in studies of natural history and treatment of mitochondrial ocular myopathies.
