RESUMEN
Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 76 pacientes con catarata, que no pudieron ser intervenidos quirúrgicamente en el Centro Oftalmológico del municipio de Maracaibo, perteneciente al estado de Zulia (Venezuela), desde junio hasta julio del 2009, a fin de identificar las principales causas que estaban contraindicando la operación de esa oftalmopatía, para lo cual se examinó un ojo de cada integrante de la serie. En la casuística predominaron el grupo etario de 60-69 años y el sexo masculino, así como la agudeza visual por debajo de 0,3 y el diagnóstico prequirúrgico de catarata senil. La degeneración macular asociada a la edad prevaleció como la enfermedad más frecuente que invalidara la cirugía, con primacía de la opacidad lenticular nuclear en cuanto a la clasificación morfológica. Se concluyó que no siempre la opacidad del cristalino causa la mala visión, por lo que es necesario realizar un detallado examen oftalmológico.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 76 patients with cataract, who could not be surgically treated at the Ophthalmological Center from Maracaibo municipality, belonging to Zulia State (Venezuela), was carried out from June to July, 2009 in order to identify the main causes that were contraindicating the ophthalmopathy surgery, for which each participant's eye was examined. The 60-69-year-old age group and male sex, as well as the visual sharpness under 0,3 and pre-surgical diagnosis of senile cataract, were predominant in the case material. Macular degeneration associated with age prevailed as the most frequent disease invalidating the surgery, giving some priority to nuclear lenticular opacity according to morphological classification. It was concluded that opacity of crystalline lens does not always cause bad vision, thus it is necessary to carry out a detailed ophthalmological test.
