| Popis: | Purpose: To study the Etiology, Socio-Demographic profile and Visual outcome of Traumatic Cataract in Bangalore Rural. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was done on 50 patientswho presented in Department of Ophthalmology from June 2021 to Dec 2021. Relevant clinical history, visual acuity and demographic data at time of presentation and post operatively after 2 months were recorded. All the data was compiled and managed in SSPS. Results: Among 50 patients, majority of patients were young adults between 21-30 years. Males were affected more than females.The major cause was wooden stick trauma. Most of the patients had penetrating eye injury [n=35, 70%] and poor visual acuity at presentation. Conclusion: Due to engagement in outdoor activities, males face increased risk of trauma. Because of other complications like corneal opacity, scarring and irregular astigmatism, visual outcome post operatively was poor. |
