The effect of capsular rupture and vitreous loss during cataract surgery on post operative visual acuity

الملخص EN

Background: The goal of this study was to determine the best corrected visual acuity after cataract surgery complicated with capsular rupture and vitreous loss.

Aim of work: to determine the effect of capsular rupture and vitreous loss during cataract surgery on post operative visual acuity.

Methods: This study included 40 patients had cataract surgeries their ages range from 50 to 65 years divided into 2 groups.

The first group included 20 patient whose cataract surgery had no complications 14 cases (70%) were females and 7 cases (30%) were males,8 cases(40%) had ECCE and 12 cases(60%) had Phaco, The mean age was 58.10 ± 4.29 years.

The second group included 20 patient whose cataract surgery complicated with capsular rupture and vitreous loss, 12 cases (60%) were females and 8 cases (40%) were males, 8cases (40%) had ECCE and 12 cases (60%) had phaco,The mean age was 58.20 ± 3.69 years.

By measuring BCVA 8 weeks after surgery the BCVA at phaco group the uncomplicated cases had mean 0.40 ± 0.12 ,the complicated cases had mean 0.22 ± 0.14.The p value is 0.003 .

AT the EXTRA cases ,the uncomplicated cases with mean 0.48 ± 0.29 and the complicated cases had mean 0.21 ± 0.06 .

The p value is 0.033.

Results: It was found that BCVA at patients with PCR and vitreous loss is less than other patients whose cataract surgery had no complication .
