Visual Outcome after Small Incision Cataract Surgery in Southwestern Nigeria

Abstract: SUMMARYObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the visual outcome of patients who had manual small incision cataract surgery in a high volume secondary eye hospital in southwestern Nigeria, and to identify reasons for poor outcome.Methodology: This is an observational descriptive, longitudinal study of consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery at St Mary's Catholic Eye Hospital, Ago Iwoye (SMEH) Nigeria conducted between May and October 2007. A total of 146 patients who presented to the hospit… Show more

“…This is similar to studies by Isawumi et al [18] and Adewoye et al [19] Although participants were significantly skewed towards females, gender showed no statistically significant association with intraoperative complications or postoperative UCVA. In a large retrospective series of 79,777 patients by Aravind et al [4], sex (P = 0.42) and age (P = 0.21) were not significantly associated with intraoperative complications.…”

“…La moyenne d’âge des patients est variable dans la littérature, suivant les critères d'inclusion. Nous avons inclus des patients d'au moins 40 ans et avons retrouvé une moyenne d’âge de 66 ans qui est proche de la littérature [ 6 , 7 ]. Cette moyenne d’âge est plus élevée dans les pays occidentaux pour les cataractes séniles du fait de leur survenue plus tardive.…”

“…Bifocal IOLs create two focal points for near and far distance, and thus intermediate VA is less than the near or far VA ( 8 10 ). However, intermediate vision is increasingly important because screen work has become present in nearly everybody's everyday life ( 4 , 11 ). More recently, trifocal IOLs have been developed to supply the visual function at the intermediate distance ( 12 ), which is regarded as an important factor in patient satisfactory outcomes, specifically for those with extended computer use and higher patient expectations ( 13 ).…”
