Surgical Outcomes Of Cataract Extraction In Eyes With Post-Traumatic Lens Opacities
Abstract
Post-traumatic lens opacities represent a challenging subset of cataracts due to the frequent association with anterior and posterior segment injuries. Advances in cataract surgery techniques have significantly improved visual rehabilitation in these patients. This article evaluates the surgical outcomes of cataract extraction in eyes with post-traumatic lens opacities, with particular emphasis on visual acuity improvement, intraoperative difficulties, postoperative complications, and prognostic factors. A review of clinical studies demonstrates that modern cataract extraction techniques, including phacoemulsification and small-incision cataract surgery, can achieve favorable outcomes when tailored to the specific trauma-related ocular conditions.
