Abstract
The patients’ postoperative visual satisfaction, vision related quality of life, ability to function in daily activities and their overall productivity mainly depends on the visual outcome. The present study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the visual outcome in different types of cataract after surgery among patients attending a tertiary health care centre in M.P. 260 consented patients who were diagnosed with cataract and underwent cataract surgery were included in the study. Each patient was evaluated for the outcome both pre‐and post‐surgery. Detailed personal and demographic information, systemic and ocular history was collected using a pre‐designed semi‐structured questionnaire. Follow‐up was done after 24 hours, 7 and 14 days. Good pre‐operative BCVA was associated with good post‐operative visual outcome. Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension had poor visual outcome. 26.5% (n = 69) patients underwent Phacoemulsification, of which majority (n = 48) had better post‐operative vision whereas 73.5% (n = 191) patients underwent SICS, of which majority (n = 84) had better post operative vision. Phaco had good visual outcome than SICS. Corneal edema (n = 160) was the most common early complication. Posterior capsule opacity was the most common delayed complication. Age, residence, systemic co‐morbidities, preoperative visual acuity, coexisting ocular comorbidities, surgical techniques, post‐operative factors (Posterior Capsule opacification and uncorrected refractive errors) were the important factors affecting post operative visual outcomes.
