EFFECT OF HIGH MYOPIA ON THE VISUAL OUTCOME FOLLOWING CATARACT SURGERY

Le résumé fourni par la source

Visual impairment, or blindness, is a serious global health concern. The degenerative condition known as cataract causes the lens's proteins to break down, opacifying the lens. Lenses and glasses are used to cure early cataracts and refractive problems, whilst surgical procedures are necessary for moderate to advanced cataracts. The procedure of cataract surgery is both cost-effective and safe. Cataract is the most prevalent associated complication of high myopia, and around 30% cataract surgeries include severely myopic patients.The present observational study was conducted to evaluate the effect of high myopia on the visual outcome following cataract surgery among 103 eyes with cataract and high myopia. It was found that the age range of 28–37 years accounted for the bulk of the patients (40.77%) and the male to female ratio was 1.57:1. Mostly (69.9%) right eye was involved and nuclear cataract was the most common (36.89%) type of cataract. There was improvement in post-operative visual acuity, mean spherical equivalent, mean best corrective visual acuity, mean anterior chamber angle and mean CCT as compared to the pre-operative ndings. The depth of anterior chamber was found to decrease after surgery and intraocular pressure also improved post-operatively. The present study concluded that cataract surgery was the better technique to improve the visual acuity among patients with high myopia. In the present study good post-operative outcome was observed in patients with cataract and high myopia.
