Herona community hospital kisoga mukono Cataract surgeries supported by IMET2000

Herona community hospital kisoga, performs free cataract surgeries supported by IMET2000.
Senile cataract is an age-related, vision-impairing disease characterized by gradual progressive clouding and thickening of the lens of the eye. It is the world’s leading cause of treatable blindness
Diagnosis involves
Examination of the ocular adnexa and intraocular structures - May provide clues to the patient's cataract etiology, concomitant disease, and eventual visual prognosis
Swinging flashlight test - Detects a Marcus Gunn pupil or a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) indicative of optic nerve lesions or severe diffuse retinal involvement
Slit lamp examination - Should concentrate on the evaluation of not only lens opacity but also other ocular structures (eg, conjunctiva, cornea, iris, anterior chamber)
Examination of nuclear size and brunescence - After dilation, nuclear size and brunescence as indicators of cataract density can be determined prior to phacoemulsification surgery
Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy - To evaluate the integrity of the posterior pole
Clinical staging can be bases on slit lamp Examination findings
Hypermature cataract: This is a dense white opacity that obscures the red reflex and contains milky fluid within the capsule, a result of degenerated lens cortex. The capsule often is tense or wrinkled. A morgagnian cataract is a type of hypermature cataract in which the nucleus sinks within the fluid cortex.
Mature cataract: This is a cataract that is opaque, totally obscuring the red reflex. It is either white or brunescent.
Immature cataract: This is a cataract characterized by a variable amount of opacification, present in certain areas of the lens. These may include both high- and low-density areas, with some clear lens fibers.
Incipient cataract: This is a cataract that is seen on slit-lamp examination but is of little clinical significance.
