        abstract = {visual impairment worldwide, mainly affecting the adult and elderly population. Cataract is a gradual cloudiness of the transparent ocular lens. The crystalline lens is a transparent structure. Its transparency may be disturbed due to degenerative process leading to opacification of lens fibers. Development of opacity in the lens is known as cataract. Cataract means any opacity of the lens or its capsule causing visual impairment is called cataract.
Purpose: To compare and evaluate the pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity in adult patients undergoing cataract surgery, and to assess the impact of cataract surgery on patient’s vision, visual outcomes, post-operative complications, and overall satisfaction.
Methods: There are several methods can be used to evaluate visual outcomes before and after cataract surgery. Visual acuity and ocular condition were assessed using clinical examinations including Snellen’s chart, torch light examination, intraocular pressure measurement, and slit-lamp examination before and after surgery.
Result: A total of 101 adult patients, where 57 males and 44 females were included in the study, of whom 60 had associated systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, stroke, or cardiac disease. The results revealed a significant improvement in visual acuity in 98% of the patients following cataract surgery. Only 1.98% of patients showed no improvement, mainly due to systemic diseases and post-operative complications. In terms of satisfaction, 26 patients were very satisfied, 44 were satisfied, 23 were neutral, and 8 were unsatisfied with their surgical outcome.
Conclusion: The research confirms that cataract surgery is a safe, effective, and beneficial procedure for improving visual function in adult patients. It also highlights the need for comprehensive medical evaluation and proper follow-up care to minimize complications and enhance visual outcomes.},
