Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The “ right to sight” is the common global agenda launched by the WHO and task force of International NGOs to combat the gigantic problem of blindness and the aim of vision 2020 is to reduce the current expected 78 million blind people to 25 million by the year 2020. There are an estimated 9 to 12 million cases of blindness in India, half of which can be attributed to cataract. In India approximately 5 million cataract surgeries are performed per year. Conventional extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE), manual small incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification are the three most popular form of cataract surgery in India and rest of the world. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized single site study which was done in the Department of Ophthalmology, S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. It comprises 60 patients of senile cataract, aged 40 yrs. or above and both male and female (also cases with controlled DM and HT). The eligible patients were divided into two groups (A and B) randomly. All patients were undergone either on phacoemulsification with PCIOL surgery under local anesthesia (LA) or with another procedure by the faculty. Results: Observations of the present study are based on a 6 weeks follow up of 30 cases, who had undergone cataract extraction with PCIOL Phacoemulsification. Conclusion: The phacoemulsification technique gives better uncorrected visual acuity in a slightly larger proportion of patients at 6th weeks.
