“…In the present study, male population was more affected than female population with a ratio of 2.85:1 as male are more involved in sports and outdoor activities. Similar results were obtained by Abdul Rahim Aldinaet al, Poonam N. Kalyanpadet al and Menon MN et al [6,7,8]. A majority of patients in the present study had traumatic cataract due to open globe injury (68%) as compared to closed group injuries (32%).…”

Aim: Ocular trauma can result in myriad of presentations, traumatic cataract being one of them. The aim of present study is to find out etiological factors, demographic profile, factors affecting visual outcome in patients of traumatic cataract. Method and Material: A Prospective observational study was conducted in the department of Ophthalmology, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. A total of 50 patients were examined and findings were analyzed. Outcome measures: Final visual outcome. Result: We found that people in most productive years of life are more susceptible to injury causing traumatic cataract. Most of the injuries are sustained at workplace or home. Visual outcome in Traumatic cataract depends upon initial visual acuity and associated ocular injuries. Proper management of postoperative complications can significantly improve the visual outcome. Conclusion: Traumatic cataract is an important cause of preventable blindness. People at workplace should be aware of possible injuries. Use of adequate protective measures can decrease the incidence of traumatic cataract.

“…Similar results were found in a study conducted by Latif et al, where it was revealed that improvement in visual acuity was seen in 96% of children presenting in 3-5 years of age whereas only in 2% of cases presenting in 6-8 years of age 13 . In case of traumatic cataracts [14][15][16] , visual outcome was affected by the type of trauma. Most cases were of penetrating trauma where a corneal tear had been repaired in a prior surgery.…”

Purpose: To perform pediatric cataract surgery audit at a tertiary care center in Karachi. Study Design: Descriptive observational study. Place and Duration of Study: From January, 2016 to July, 2018 at Ophthalmology Department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi. Material and Methods: All patients with congenital cataract were included in study regardless of presence or absence of systemic association. Patients who were lost to follow up at three months were excluded from the study. Hospital records were reviewed retrospectively and data on patient demographics, preoperative presentations, intraoperative complications and postoperative visual outcomes was documented on predesigned proformas. All patients underwent lens aspiration, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy. Surgeries were performed under general anesthesia. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity was assessed with ability to fix and follow light/objects, Kay picture test and Snellen’s chart according to patient’s age. Results: Three hundred and twenty six eyes underwent surgery for congenital cataract and sixty for traumatic cataract. Number of male patients was 54.93% and female was 45.07%. The average age of patients with congenital cataract was 5.01 years and that for traumatic cataract was 7.8 years. Amblyopia, nystagmus and strabismus were the commonest ocular comorbidities. Uncorrected visual acuity ranged from 6/18 to light perception preoperatively. Postoperatively 55% children with congenital cataract and 15% children with traumatic cataract had visual acuity better than 6/24. Conclusion: Early surgery in congenital cataract gives good visual outcomes. In traumatic cataract extraction, the final visual outcome depends on other effects of trauma on ocular structures.

BACKGROUND Traumatic cataract is common presentation of penetrating and blunt ocular trauma in children. Ocular trauma is the leading cause of unilateral blindness all over the world. The incidence of ocular trauma varies in different parts of the world. From India, the reported incidence is 20.53%. Traumatic cataract causes significant blindness in paediatric populations particularly in developing countries. The aim of the study is to evaluate the final visual outcome of the patients with traumatic cataract. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective study of 100 children from 4 to 16 years of age presenting in Outpatient Department of Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Kolkata, with traumatic cataract between April 2015 to March 2017. Detailed history, systemic and local examinations and relevant investigations done followed by medical and surgical intervention and patients were followed up till six months and final visual acuity recorded. RESULTS There was a male predilection with a male-to-female ratio 2.85:1.56 (56%) patients sustained penetrating trauma, while 44 (44%) were inflicted with blunt injury. Commonest causative agent was trauma with organic foreign bodies in 20 eyes (20%) followed by stones in 14 eyes (14%). Anterior segment was more involved than posterior segment. Final best corrected visual acuity after six months was better than or equal to 6/18 in 64 eyes (64%). The major early postoperative complications include anterior uveitis in 26 (26%) and corneal oedema in 8 (8%) patients, while late postoperative complication was posterior capsular uveitis in 36% patients. CONCLUSION Paediatric traumatic cataract can cause ocular morbidity. Timely and proper medical and surgical intervention can result in good visual outcome. The parents, caretakers and teachers have an important role to play in prevention by recognising hazardous situation and taking preventing measures.
