Abstract
- 41 cases of complicated cataract in leprosy patients were operated on from May 1989 to March 1990 at National Sorok Island Hospital. In all cases, extracapsular cataract extraction was attempted and sector or peripheral iridectomy was performed. Inferior sphincterotomy was not done in any of the cases. The postoperative results were very satisfactory in most of the operating cases. The results are as follows; 1) Corrected vision above 0.1 was obtained in 29 eyes(70.7%). 2) Corrected vision from F.C. to 0.09 was obtained in 8 eyes(19.5%). 3) Corrected vision below H.M. was obtained in 4 eyes(9.8%). 4) 37 eyes(90.2%) among the total 41 showed an improvement of corrected vision.
