ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the result of traumatic cataract surgery in a tertiary care hospital at eastern Nepal. It is a hospital-based study of 112 patients (age 15-62), who underwent cataract extraction for unilateral traumatic cataracts. The study was carried out to evaluate the surgical outcome of tramatic cataract. Thirty-eight eyes had associated posterior capsular defect. No serious postoperative complications were encountered. Posterior capsular opacification at the end of sixth week was evident only in two eyes. Best corrected visual acuity nof 6/18 or more at the eighth week was achieved in 61 (54%) eyes. Astigmatism of less than 3D was achieved in 82 (73%) eyes. Rational surgical approach in traumatic cataract provides encouraging results. To comment on actual outcome long term follow up is mandatory.
