" Refractive Outcomes of patients performing cataract surgery in Ophthalmology department Minia University Hospital. "

Intruduction Cataract, which is the opacification of the crystalline lens in the eye, causes a gradualdecrease in vision, and can eventually lead to blindness 1. For cataracts, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the only viable treatment. It is essential to precisely estimate the lens power prior to surgery since postoperative refractive problems may result from implanting an improper lens with the incorrect Power .2 Aim of study To assess the post-operative refraction prediction accuracy for patients undergoing cataract surgery in ophthalmology department Minia University Hospital. Patients and methods The study was a prospective study. The study was conducted at Ophthalmology department, Minia University Hospital in Egypt between May 2024 and January 2025. The study included 100 eyes of 100 patients undergone standard cataract surgery at Minya university Hospital from May 2024 to January 2025, for patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation. Inclusion criteria: patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation. Exclusion criteria: 1.Patients with history of previous intraocular surgery. 2.Patients with other ocular diseases as glaucoma, uveitis. 3.Patients with sublaxated lens. 4.patients had gone through intraoperative complications. 5.patients who have nystagmus & or poor fixation 6.patients with unreliable or undetectable preoperative biometric measurements. 7. patients who could not be followed up. Results This study demonstrated excellent refractive outcomes, with a high percentage of patients achieving postoperative visual acuity within the target refraction. Conclusion These findings support the continued use and refinement of these techniques to maintain high standards of care.
