Purpose: To determine whether a biometry training course could improve refractive outcomes of patients undergoing manual small-incision extracapsular cataract surgery (SICS).
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, interventional, cohort study at the Pacific Eye Institute, Fiji. SICS refractive outcomes were evaluated before and after a structured biometry teaching course.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the demographics and outcomes of patients undergoing small incision cataract surgery at the Pacific Eye Institute in Fiji, involving 156 participants.
- A prospective, longitudinal design was used, with detailed preoperative and postoperative assessments conducted by trained ophthalmologists and trainees.
- Results showed high success rates in visual outcomes, with 74% of patients achieving good vision post-surgery, though some complications were noted, including a small percentage of serious issues.
