Abstract

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.
