A socio-epidemiological assessment of what happens to the visual outcome after camp-based intracapsular cataract extraction was conducted in 6 villages and periurban areas in North India. 120 patients (143 eyes) were included in the study. The mean age at cataract extraction was 64.39 (range 33-83 years). 44.7% of the operated eyes obtained a good vision ( > or = 6/18) while 39.9% had low vision (6/24-3/60). The duration since the cataract extraction was seen to influence visual outcome. 70% of the respondents were satisfied with the surgical outcome. 76% of those with unilateral aphakia and 8.3% of those with bilateral aphakia were regularly using spectacles. 58.3% were satisfied with the spectacles. Dissatisfaction was generally due to lack of visual improvement. The major benefits accruing to the patients were improved personal activity, increased mobility and recognition of family members. It is our opinion that camp-based intracapsular cataract extraction with aphakic correction is still an important alternative in rural India.
在印度北部的6个村庄和城郊地区，对营地式囊内白内障摘除术后的视力结果进行了社会流行病学评估。该研究纳入了120名患者（143只眼）。白内障摘除时的平均年龄为64.39岁（范围33 - 83岁）。44.7%的手术眼获得了良好视力（≥6/18），而39.9%的眼视力低下（6/24 - 3/60）。白内障摘除后的时间长度被认为会影响视力结果。70%的受访者对手术结果满意。76%的单眼无晶状体患者和8.3%的双眼无晶状体患者经常佩戴眼镜。58.3%的人对眼镜满意。不满意通常是由于视力没有改善。患者获得的主要益处是个人活动能力提高、行动更加自如以及能够认出家庭成员。我们认为，在印度农村地区，营地式囊内白内障摘除联合无晶状体矫正仍是一种重要的选择。
