A Clinical Study of Complicated Cataract in Uveitis among the Patients Attending O.P.D. in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Assam
Abstract: Objectives: To study the morphological types of various complicated cataracts following uveitis along with evaluation of visual outcome and ocular complications following cataract surgery among the patients attending O. P. D. of Assam Medical College & Hospital, Dibrugarh, Assam. Materials & Methods: A prospective hospital based study conducted on 35 patientsof complicated cataract secondary to uveitis. Selected cases underwent complete ophthalmic examination, grading of cataract and followed by cataract surgery. After surgery post-operativevisual acuity and additional findings were noted and compared accordingly. Results: Out of 35 cases, 16 cases were male (45.71 %), 19 cases were female (54.29 %). The peak incidence of uveitic cataract was in age group of 31 40 years, 13 cases (37.14 %). The most common morphological type of complicated cataract was posterior sub capsular type (18 cases, 51.43 %). There was significant improvement in visual acuity after cataract surgery and were statistically significant (P
