Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose: To comparevisual outcome in patients undergoing manual small incision cataract surgery with superior, supero-temporal and temporal incisions. Methods: A study was conducted between December 2014 and December 2015. A Prospective analysis of 102 cases meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The patients were randomly allocated to three groups of 34 each and surgeries were performed in group A with superior, group B with supero temporal and group C with temporal incision by single experienced surgeon. Post operatively unaided visual acuity was recorded in each patient post operatively on first week, six weeks and twelve weeks. Results: A total of 102 cases of MSICS were analysed. Most of the patients were between 61yr to 70yrs of age. After 12 week 16(47.1%) of the patients in SI group and 20(58.8%) of the patients in supero-temporal group had visual acuity ranging 6/6-6/9 where as in temporal incision group 25 (73.5%) patients had visual acuity ranging 6/6-6/9 (x2 – 4.981, p<0.01). Conclusion: Visual rehabilitation is better in temporal incision than superior incision.
