Clin Ophthalmol 2023; 17:3341-3351. [PMID: 37941776 PMCID: PMC10629348 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s434453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cataract is the leading cause of blindness and the second leading cause of visual impairment worldwide, accounting for 51% and 33% of all cases, respectively, in low- and medium-income countries bearing a disproportionately high burden. Hence, this study aimed to assess the visual outcome of age-related cataract surgery and identify factors associated with patients' postoperative visual outcomes in Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 386 cataract surgery patients from January 1, 2016, to December 30, 2017. The study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by reviewing the selected patients' medical records using a pre-tested checklist, entered into EpiData version 3.1, and exported to SPSS 20 for analysis. Proportions, summary statistics, and tables were used for presentations of the findings. Binary logistic regression was carried out to identify independent predictors of visual outcome. Findings were presented with adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence interval. A p-value <0.05 was used to declare a statistically significant association. Results About 231 individuals (59.8%) had poor visual results following cataract surgery. Furthermore, age >70 (AOR = 3.64; 95% CI [1.35-9.82]), preoperative ocular co-morbidities (AOR = 2.34; [1.32-4.15]), incision-based cataract surgery (AOR = 7.11; [3.16-16.02]), compared phacoemulsification operated by resident surgeons (AOR = 2.19; [1.23-3.89]), presence of intraoperative complication (AOR = 3.41; [1.47-7.92]), lens remnant (AOR = 2.91; [1.11-4.92]), ocular inflammation (OR = 2.56; [1.34-4.92]), and striate keratopathy/corneal edema (AOR = 1.91; [1.07-3.44]) were significantly associated with poor visual outcome. Conclusion The visual outcome following cataract surgery fall below WHO recommendation. In this study, age, ocular co-morbidities, surgical method, surgeon status, intraoperative complication, SK, and ocular inflammation associated with post-operative Uveitis and anterior chamber reaction were associated with a poor visual outcome.

Eckert KA, Lansingh VC, Carter MJ, Frick KD. Update of a Simple Model to Calculate the Annual Global Productivity Loss Due to Blindness and Moderate and Severe Vision Impairment. Ophthalmic Epidemiol 2022; 30:1-9. [PMID: 35610969 DOI: 10.1080/09286586.2022.2072899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a simple but more precise model to calculate potential annual productivity losses due to blindness and moderate and severe vision impairment (MSVI) at the national, regional, and global level. METHODS Productivity loss was defined as the loss of minimum wage/Gross National Income per capita (GNI) incurred by people aged 50-64 years with blindness or MSVI, who were not able to work or worked with reduced earnings in 2020. We developed a global list of minimum wage data from on-line sources. All other model data were sourced from international, standardised, and open-access databases. For blindness, the total productivity loss (not working) incurred by 64%-90% of the affected population was summed up with partial productivity loss, defined as 10%-36% of the affected population earning one-third of that of the sighted population. For MSVI, the total productivity loss for 30%-55% of the affected population was summed with the partial productivity loss, defined as 45%-70% of the affected population having 35% reduced earnings. The costs of blindness and MSVI were summed to obtain the cost of combined vision loss. RESULTS The global cost of vision loss based on minimum wage was US$160-US$216.32 billion for 2020. The global cost of vision loss using GNI was US$449.36-US$584.66 billion. CONCLUSIONS A parsimonious model that considers minimum wage and GNI potentially lost due to blindness and MSVI can be used for eye care programming planning and advocacy at the national, regional, and global level.

Advancing the Sustainable Development Goals through improving eye health: a scoping review. Lancet Planet Health 2022; 6:e270-e280. [PMID: 35219448 DOI: 10.1016/s2542-5196(21)00351-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
UN member states have committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This Review examines the published evidence on how improving eye health can contribute to advancing the SDGs (beyond SDG 3). We identified 29 studies that showed direct benefits from providing eye health services on SDGs related to one or more of poverty (SDGs 1, 2, and 8), education (SDG 4), equality (SDGs 5 and 10), and sustainable cities (SDG 11). The eye health services included cataract surgery, free cataract screening, provision of spectacles, trichiasis surgery, rehabilitation services, and rural community eye health volunteers. These findings provide a comprehensive perspective on the direct links between eye health services and advancing the SDGs. In addition, eye health services likely have indirect effects on multiple SDGs, mediated through one of the direct effects. Finally, there are additional plausible links to other SDGs, for which evidence has not yet been established.
