Prognosis of senile cataract extraction with increasing age
Abstract
different age groups (P<0.05). There was a strong negative correlation between age and the final visual acuity after cataract extraction r =-0.91(P<0.012) showing a decrease in visual acuitywith increasing age. Age range of 61-65 had the best visual acuityoutcome (6/9) after ICCE, while age range 51-55 hadthe best visual acuity outcome (6/7.5) after ECCE. In both ICCE and ECCE, age range 76-80 had the worst final
visual acuity outcome 6/24 and 6/18 respectively. From this study, it is concluded that there is poor prognosis of senile cataract extraction with increasing age.
