Paediatric Cataract

Introduction: Paediatric cataract and aphakia are still a major cause of childhood blindness in developing world due to lack of advanced technology. In developing countries like Nepal, many children still present late due to lack of awareness and financial constraints.Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the outcome of paediatric cataract surgery in a tertiary eye care centre in Nepal.Methodology: A hospital based prospective, observational study taking 42 patients (77 eyes) aged ≦15 years diagnosed with paediatric cataract were enrolled during a period of 1 year ( Jan 2011 - Jan 2012) at Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, Kathmandu, Nepal. The patients underwent either: a) Lens aspiration + Primary posterior capsulotomy (PPC) + Anterior Vitrectomy; b) Lens aspiration + PPC+ Anterior Vitrectomy + Intra-ocular lens (IOL); c) Lens Aspiration + IOL. Post-operatively optical ± amblyopia correction. Statistical analysis was carried out by using STATA 9.0. The association of changes in the vision of eyes before and after surgery was analyzed by using generalization of McNemar's test (Stuart-Maxwell test). A pvalue of < 0.05 was considered for the statistical significance. Institutional Ethics Board approval was obtained from the institutional review committee (IRC) of National Academy Medical Sciences ( NAMS ).Results: Mean age of patients was 4.46 yrs ± 4.32(SD), range from (15 days -12 yrs); Male : Female: 22 (52%)/20 (48%); 35 (83%) patients had bilateral cataract and 7(17%) had unilateral cataract. Morphologically, the most common type of cataract was total cataract (27/32%). Post-operatively, a statistically significant improvement in vision was there in all the eyes ( p value : < 0.0001) . Visual axis opacification was the most common post- operative complication seen in 20(26% ) of total eyes by the end of 6 months.Conclusion: Good visual outcome in paediatric cataract surgery can be obtained in developing countries like Nepal with minimal intra and post-op complications. BJHS 2018;3(1)5 : 331-337

The Mean

Cataract surgery is no more a blind rehabilitation surgery, it absolutely gives normal vision. In the era of modern cataract surgery patients expectations are also high about visual outcome. This prospective study was carried out to investigate the magnitude and pattern of pre-existing corneal astigmatism in age related cataract patient at Faridpur Medical College Hospital, Faridpur and Agha Yusuf Adhunik Hospital, Kustia, from July 2009 to June 2012. We examined 850 eyes of 730 patients who underwent cataract surgery. The mean age at the time of surgery was 61.9±8.1 (40 to 70) years. Corneal astigmatism was measured by Auto Refracto Keratometer at least two times for each patient. Astigmatism was calculated from diopteric difference of vertical reading from horizontal reading. With the rule (WTR) astigmatism was considered when steep meridian at 90°± 20°. Against the rule (ATR) astigmatism was considered when steep meridian at 180°±20°. Astigmatism is in other direction is defined as oblique. On keratometry, when vertical reading (k1) was found greater than horizontal (k2) was considered WTR astigmatism and the reverse reading for ATR astigmatism. The percentage of corneal astigmatism was 1D or less was 69.6%, more than 1D and less than 1.5D, 27.6% and more than 1.5D and less then 2D 2.8%. Prevalence of ATR astigmatism was more than WTR astigmatism and prevalence of ATR astigmatism increases significantly with age. Approximately two third of pre-operative patient had 1D or less astigmatism and one third had more than 1D corneal astigmatism. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/fmcj.v8i1.16887 Faridpur Med. Coll.

Introduction: Cataract is most common cause of curable blindness worldwide and cataract surgery is most common procedure performed in ophthalmology. Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is most common complication after cataract surgery which is usually treated with Neodymium-doped: Yttrium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy or occasionally with a surgical capsulotomy. The incidence and severity of PCO correlates to the type of surgical technique, IOL optic edge designs and IOL materials. Material and Methods: 70 eyes of 64 patients operated for age related cataract were studied in this prospective interventional study. Phacoemulsification was done in 35 eyes and SICS in 35 eyes with hydrophobic single piece biconvex foldable intraocular lens. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months for the development of PCO. Clinically significant PCO (loss of 2 or more lines of Snellen’s visual acuity chart) was treated with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Results: The overall incidence of PCO was 22.85%. Amongst the patients who developed PCO, SICS and phacoemulsification was performed in 62.5% and 37.5% patients respectively. Result was statistically significant with p value <0.05 using z test. On first postoperative day, patients operated with phacoemulsification had better visual acuity than SICS. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification can provide early and better visual outcome than SICS and has lower incidence of PCO formation which may be due to difference in irrigation and aspiration and less disruption of blood aqueous barrier than SICS. PCO can be reduced by atraumatic surgery and thorough cortical clean up and capsular polishing.
