“…12,13 The refractive error contributes to poor vision post-operatively. 14,15 while second, the most common reason for an impaired visual outcome is related to posterior capsular rupture (PCR), which was 3.2% in our study, which is comparable with another study conducted on the Pakistani population with PCR results of 3.01%, while few studies mentioned 10% and 11.3%.…”

Objective: To evaluate the visual rehabilitation after phacoemulsification with rigid intraocular lens implantation. Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study. Place and Duration of Study: Institute of Ophthalmology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro Pakistan, from Jul to Dec 2020. Methodology: Ninety-four subjects diagnosed with unilateral cataracts were evaluated completely. Subjects with any other ocular disease were excluded from the study. Pre-operative and post-operative, surgical and visual outcomes along with follow-up of 4 weeks and 12 weeks best-corrected visual acuity, were recorded. Results: The mean age of study participants was 61.77±7.34 years. Post-operative complications were evaluated within one week of surgery. 22(23.4%) subjects showed striate keratopathy, 2(2.1%) indicated bullous keratopathy, and 7(7.4%) reported residual lens matter as a complication. The difference between good visual outcomes was 33(35.1%) within eight weeks (4th week till 12th week); similarly, the difference between satisfactory visual outcomes was 22(23.4%). The visual outcomes improved more than two folds after phacoemulsification with a rigid intraocular lens. Conclusion: The foldable intraocular lens is comparatively expensive and unaffordable for many patients in developing countries. Rigid IOL with phacoemulsification is a cost-effective method to remove cataracts and restore patient visual acuity.Accurate diagnosis, evaluation, and surgeon’s experience are important factors in achieving the required results.

“…Das et al [9] also observed visual acuity post Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification for 1 day, 1 month and 6 months. Das et al [9] also observed not only UCVA but also using Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BVCA). Das et al, explained that their research also aims to find out complications of cataract surgery like astigmatism, so they used BVCA examination to see astigmatism.…”

Cataracts are the second most common cause of blindness in the world at 33%. The incidence of cataracts is 0.1% of the total population, so the number of new cataract cases in Indonesia is estimated at 250,000 per year. This study aims to compare the visual acuity of post cataract surgery patients with Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification techniques at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar. This study was a retrospective cohort at Ophthalmologist’s Outpatient Departement of Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar, Bali. The sample of this study was 60 patients with 84 eyes with senile cataract. The surgical techniques performed were Small Incision Cataract Surgery (53.6%) and Phacoemulsification (46.4%). After that, an Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA) examination was carried out on day 1 and day 42. The result were cataract patients at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar aged 60-65 years who were male. Comparison of visual acuity after Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification had the same results. On day 1 and day 42, there was no different uncorrected visual acuity result between Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification statistically.

“…Similarly, the American Academy of Ophthalmology showed no difference in outcomes related to visual acuity after applying foldable or non-foldable lenses in patients with cataract surgery. 16 Narian Das et al 17 reported age of the patients operated for phacoemulsification with foldable lens was from 35 to 70 years Mahesar ML et al 18 reported gender distribution in cataract surgery patients was 48% of males and 39% of females. A study reported 19 prevalence of cataract surgery was higher in women than men with ratio of 1.8% and 1.67% respectively.…”

Objective: To determine the visual outcomes of cataract surgery with foldable lens at tertiary care eye hospital SindhPakistan. Study design and setting: An observational cross-sectional study carried out at Ghulam Muhammad Maher Medical College (GMMMC) Sukkur from February 2020 to January 2022. Methodology: A Non-probability purposive sampling was used. Inclusion were all individuals attending eye OPD with complaint of cloudy vision and diagnosed with cataract. Patients suffering from corneal diseases, chronic anterior uveitis intraocular pressure >22 mmHg, high ametropia and Diabetes Mellitus were excluded from the study. SPSS was used to analyze data. Results: Total of 153 patients were selected for this study. Age of the patients was from 40 to 72 years. 60% of patients were between 40-60 years age whereas 40% were above 60 years. Gender differences observed 73 (48%) female and 80(52%) male. On 1st postoperative day Best Corrected Visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/9 in 90 patients, 6/12 in 40 patients and 6/6 in 23 patients. After 1 week follow-up, BCVA was 6/6 in 100 patients, 6/9 in 33 patients and 6/12 in 20 patients. After 1 month, BCVA was recorded as 6/6 in 130 patients, 6/9 in 20 and 6/12 in 3 patients. Conclusion: Visual acuity outcome with foldable lens after Phacoemulsification was found excellent within one month. Implantation of foldable lens with phacoemulsification gives better results in terms of visual acuity.
