简要总结
After taking approval from the institutional ethics committee (IEC), this study will be conducted by recruiting the patients coming to eye OPD and fulfilling the inclusion criteria, after obtaining informed and written consent .
A detailed history will be taken, so as to exclude other causes of cataract. Any significant medical or surgical history will be taken and thorough ophthalmologic examination will be done, including Vision assessment by LogMAR chart, Slit lamp biomicroscopy to assess anterior segment.
Ophthalmoscopy and B-scan ultrasound to assess posterior segment of eyeball, Keratometry and Biometry, Gonioscopy to exclude occludable/closed angle of angle of anterior chamber. Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) will be assessed by ultrasonic pachymetry to exclude patients with thin and thick corneas. IOP assessment with Non contact Tonometry (NCT) will be carried out.
Patients will undergo cataract surgery under local anaesthesia (peribulbar block). Occurrence of any major intraocular complication will exclude the patient from the study.
, patients will receive topical e/d prednisolone. Dosages will be tapered subsequently in 4 to 6 weeks.
