Quality of Visual Acuity on Post Cataract Surgery Patient in Waled Hospital 2022
Main Article Content
Cataracts are a clouding of the lens caused by lens hydration and protein denaturation. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 18 million people have cataracts in both eyes, accounting for 47% of global blindness. According to the Ministry of Health (KEMENKES) 2017 report, cataracts cause 81.2% of blindness in Indonesia. Data from the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) 2013–2017 in West Java show that 71.7% of blindness in individuals aged over 50 years results from cataracts. This study aims to determine the quality of visual acuity in patients after cataract surgery at Waled Hospital in 2022. A retrospective descriptive observational design was used, based on patient medical records. Univariate analysis described the distribution by sex, age, number of eyes operated on, and vision quality one month after surgery. A total of 475 eyes (from 453 patients) underwent cataract surgery: 7 patients (1.5%) were aged 25–35 years, 31 (6.8%) aged 36–45 years, 123 (27.2%) aged 46–55 years, 132 (29.1%) aged 56–65 years, and 160 (35.3%) aged over 65 years. Male patients comprised 40.4% (183), and females 59.6% (270). One eye was operated on in 431 patients (90.7%), while both eyes were operated on in 44 (9.2%). Visual acuity outcomes one-month post-surgery were: good (6/6–6/18) in 318 patients (66.9%), moderate (<6/18–6/60) in 119 (25.1%), and poor (<6/60) in 38 (8.0%). The quality of visual acuity after cataract surgery at Waled Hospital in 2022 was predominantly good.
