Clinical comparison of visual outcomes following manual small incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The WHO projects that between 2000 and 2020, the number of cataract surgeries performed worldwide must be tripled. In India out of the 9 - 12 million who are blind, 80% are due to cataract. Our annual incidence of cataract blindness is 3.8 million, which is added to a backlog of 10 million operable cataract in India, whereas only 5 million cataract surgeries are performed annually in the country. Out of 200 patients, 100 were operated by MSICS with PCIOL implantation under LA. Peribulbar block with 5 ml of anesthetic solution, i. e., mixture of 2%lignocaine with 1:1000 adrenaline with 50 units of hyalase and 0.25 % bupivacaine was given. Digital ocular compression is given every 30 seconds, pressure would be released for 5 second. Visual acuity improved in both the groups by the 6th week. Uncorrected visual acuity of better than 6/18 was seen in 60 cases in Group A and 72 cases in Group B. Best Corrected visual acuity of more than 6/18 was seen in 94 cases in Group A and 96 cases in Group B.
