The visual outcome and the effect of cataract surgery on existent and surgically induced refractive errors are a concern of interest that the eye care expert must deal with.
The aim of the study was to investigate the visual outcome after small incision cataract surgery of patients in a Kenyan hospital.
A descriptive retrospective study covering 3 years (2015 to 2017). Total of 1104 files of patients aged > 50 years who had undergone small incision cataract surgery at Sabatia eye hospital were purposively selected. Information on demographics, clinical aspects and outcome was collected using a ministry of health structured form. Statistical package for social sciences version 24 was used to analyse the data.
Of the 1104 patients, 55% (n=606) were females. The mean age of patients was 70.6 ± 9.8 years. Most patients were from the hospital neighbourhood. Visual acuity improved by 38.9%, 28.9%, 19.8% and 11.5% in patients aged 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-89 years old, respectively.
Small incision cataract surgery improved visual acuity in all patients' groups, but the outcome is influenced by age, refractive error particularly astigmatism.
视力结果和白内障手术对现有及手术引起的屈光不正的影响是眼科专家必须关注的一个关注点。
本研究旨在调查肯尼亚一家医院接受小切口白内障手术后患者的视力结果。
这是一项为期 3 年（2015 年至 2017 年）的描述性回顾性研究。共选择了 1104 名在萨巴蒂亚眼科医院接受小切口白内障手术的年龄>50 岁患者的档案。使用卫生部制定的结构化表格收集人口统计学、临床方面和结果方面的信息。使用社会科学统计软件包 24 版分析数据。
在 1104 名患者中，55%（n=606）为女性。患者的平均年龄为 70.6±9.8 岁。大多数患者来自医院附近。50-59 岁、60-69 岁、70-79 岁和 80-89 岁的患者视力分别提高了 38.9%、28.9%、19.8%和 11.5%。
小切口白内障手术改善了所有患者群体的视力，但结果受年龄、屈光不正（特别是散光）影响。
