“…The study result showed that, the odds of good knowledge were 81% reduced among study participants from rural residence as compared to the urban resident. This study finding is similar with other studies conducted abroad, central rural India [ 19 ] and Ontario Canada [ 15 ]. This might due to the fact that people living in urban have access to different sources of information regarding the issues in addition to this people living in urban areas have better exposures to media and eye care professionals that increase access to health education and knowledge.…”

Background Globally, at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been easily prevented or easily treated. Cataract is the leading preventable and most treatable causes of blindness and bilateral low vision among adults. Despite being the leading cause of preventable and most treatable blindness, the lack of knowledge about the disease and its option of treatment is still a major barrier in reducing the blindness owing to cataract in the developing countries particularly in Ethiopia. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge about cataract and associated factors among adults in Yirgalem Town, Sidama National Regional State, Southern Ethiopia, 2020. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among randomly selected 599 adult’s age 18 years and above from May 10–30, 2020. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using pre-tested and structured face-to-face interview questionnaires. The collected data were entered to Epi data version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associated factors of knowledge about cataract. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) together with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was used to declare the statistical association between dependent and independent variables. Results Of the total study participants, 379 (64.7%), [(95% CI: 60.7–68.6%)] of them had good knowledge about cataract. Age (≥40 years) [AOR = 2.29(95% CI 1.18–4.44)], Elementary school completed [AOR = 2.31(95% CI 1.30–4.10)], High school & above [AOR = 5.55(95% CI 2.81–10.89)], governmental and non-governmental employed [AOR = 5.62 (95% CI 2.78–11.38)], Merchant [AOR = 1.72(95% CI 1.03–2.88)], Positive Attitude [AOR = 3.85(95% CI 2.94–6.47)] were positively significantly associated with knowledge about cataract. Whereas, rural residence [AOR = 0.19 (95% CI: 0.12–0.31)] was negatively associated with knowledge about cataract. Conclusions More than one third of the participants still had poor knowledge about cataract. This implies that health facilities should be engaged and raises the awareness of the community and empowers people about eye care needs.

“…It is also important to note that the chances of postoperative inflammation and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) are higher in pediatric cases. 15,16,17 Although the outcomes of pediatric cataract surgery may not be as impressive as those of adult cataract surgery, it is still a crucial intervention as restoring a child's vision can greatly reduce the number of blind person-years. According to a study in Spain 18 , congenital cataract is the most common cause of pediatric cataract, while a study in central India 19 found trauma to be the leading cause of pediatric cataract.…”

Objective: To compare intraoperative complications in manual posterior capsulorhexis (forcepsorhexis) and posterior vitrectorhexis, before implantation of the IOL in patients of paediatric cataract surgery. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Shaheed Mohtarma Banazir Bhutto Medical University Larkana. Period: July 2021 to June 2022. Methods: Our study included patients within the age range of 1-12 years who were diagnosed with congenital cataract and did not exhibit any other abnormalities in the anterior or posterior segments. A comprehensive ophthalmic and systemic examination was conducted, and the patients were categorized into two groups: Group A for Forceps Capsulorhexis and Group B for Posterior Vitrectorhexis. Results: There were a total of 154 cases of paediatric cataracts that underwent surgical procedures known as Posterior capsulorhexis (forcepsorhexis) and posterior vitrectorhexis. Both groups had participants with ages ranging from 1 year to 12 years, with a minimum age of 1 year. The mean age for the Forceps Capsulorhexis group was 6.1+1.8 years, while the mean age for the Posterior Vitrectorhexis group was 6.9+1.3 years. The outcomes during surgery showed that in the Forceps Capsulorhexis group, 60 patients (77.92%) had organization of the capsular bag, while in the Posterior Vitrectorhexis group, 49 patients (63.63%) had organization of the capsular bag. Additionally, 55 patients (71.42%) in the Forceps Capsulorhexis group experienced vitreous thrust into the anterior chamber, compared to 66 patients (85.71%) in the Posterior Vitrectorhexis group. Conclusion: The safety and effectiveness of Forceps capsulorhexis as a treatment for paediatric cataract surpasses that of the posterior vitrectorhexis procedure, as concluded by our study.
