Impact of cataract on critical flicker fusion frequency: A hospital based study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
PurposenbspTo know whether cataract alters critical flicker fusion frequencynbspDesign A hospital based observational studyMaterials and Methods There were 113 patients with immature cataract fundus view are studied Pre and post operatively critical flicker fusion frequency CFFF test conducted and frequency values noted All patients were recorded of vision relative afferent pupillary defect RAPD intraocular pressure and dilated fundus findings Any abnormal fundus glaucoma and RAPD were excludednbspResults CFFF values taken for analysis There was no change in CFFF values post operatively Those who had higher CFFF values remained higher postoperatively also And similarly remained low those with lower CFFF values There was no statistical significance pvalue02182nbspConclusionnbspCataract did not alter the CFFFnbspHigh or low CFFF values can be concluded as dependant on optic nerve and retinal health statusKeywords Cataract Critical flicker fusion frequency Fundus
