Abstract

Purpose: According to World Health Organization (WHO), cataract is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. Post-operative refractive error is one of the commonest reasons for poor visual outcome after cataract surgery especially in developing countries where the standard modern biometry equipments are not available. The objective of this study was to assess the refractive outcome of cataract surgery done at University of Gondar (UoG) Tertiary Eye Care and Training Center, North West Ethiopia.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done on 66 patients who had undergone manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) and fulfilled the inclusion criteria at UoG Tertiary Eye Care and Training Center from July 15 2019 to October 15 2019.

Results: From 90 post-operatively refracted eyes, 58 (64.4%) eyes achieved a target refraction of ±1.00 Diopter (D). The right and left eyes achieved mean post-operative refraction SE of -0.073±1.45D and -0.93±1.70 D, respectively. But only 54 (60%) eyes were implanted with the calculated IOL power and for the remaining 40% the calculated IOL was not available at the store. And the target (Good) post-operative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was achieved in 66.7% and 82.2% eyes, respectively.

Conclusion: The post-operative refractive outcome after cataract surgery at the center is low. For over one-third of operated eyes, the calculated IOL was not implanted due to the absence of the required IOL power at the store and, therefore, a wide range of IOL power should be available at the center.

埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔大学第三眼科护理和培训中心白内障手术的屈光结果。
目的:根据世界卫生组织(世界卫生组织),白内障是全世界致盲和视力障碍的主要原因。术后屈光不正是白内障手术后视力不佳的最常见原因之一,尤其是在发展中国家,那里没有标准的现代生物测量设备。本研究的目的是评估贡达尔大学(UoG)第三眼科护理和培训中心白内障手术的屈光效果,埃塞俄比亚西北部。方法:对2019年7月15日至2019年10月15日在UoG第三级眼科护理和培训中心接受手动小切口白内障手术并符合纳入标准的66名患者进行了描述性横断面研究。结果:90只术后屈光眼中,58只(64.4%)眼睛实现了±1.00屈光度的目标屈光度。右眼和左眼术后平均屈光SE分别为-0.073±1.45D和-0.93±1.70D。但只有54只(60%)眼睛植入了计算的IOL功率,其余40%的IOL在商店里没有。目标(良好)术后裸眼视力(UCVA)和最佳矫正视力(BCVA)分别为66.7%和82.2%。结论:中心白内障手术后屈光度低。对于超过三分之一的手术眼,由于储存处缺乏所需的IOL功率,计算的IOL没有植入,因此,中心应提供大范围的IOL能量。
