The Comparative Study of Efficacy and Safety of Phacoemulsification And Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) at S. P. Medical College Bikaner
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: In 2002, WHO estimated that blindness affected 37 million people globally. If efforts are not increased to treat avoidable blindness worldwide this is projected to increase to 76 million by the year 2020. To address this issue of increasing blindness, in 1999 the WHO and the International agency for the prevention of blindness launched a global initiative called “vision 2020” the “right to sight ”to eliminate avoidable blindness by the year 2020. An estimated 4 million people experience blinding cataract every year in India. Materials and Methods: It comprises 60 patients of senile cataract, aged 40 yrs. or above and both male and female (also cases with controlled DM and HT). Informed consent for the surgery & study was taken. The eligible patients were divided into two groups (A and B) randomly. All patients were undergone either manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) or phacoemulsification with PCIOL surgery under local anesthesia (LA) by the faculty. Results: Observations of the present study are based on a 6 weeks follow up of 60 cases, which had undergone cataract extraction with PCIOL either with MSICS or Phacoemulsification. This study is done to compare visual outcomes and complications in both the MSICS and phacoemulsification so as to use a procedure which is economically viable with good visual outcome and less complication to reduce blindness due to cataract. Conclusion: On the basis of this study, it was concluded that Manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is comparable to Phacoemulsification for the rehabilitation of the patient with cataract, although the phacoemulsification technique gives better uncorrected visual acuity in a slightly larger proportion of patients at 6th weeks
