Data collected included each patient’s age, gender, the level of education. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity(UDVA and CDVA) at presentation and at 1, 6, 8wk postoperatively, pre-existing eye disease, operative findings and complications, the risk factors were evaluated.RESULTS: In 82 patients, the average age was 69.6±0.6y, illiterate were 52(63.4%). Of 82 eyes, pseudophakia was present in 77 eyes(93.9%). At 1wk postoperatively,47 eyes(57.3%) had the UDVA of ≥6/18, and 52 eyes(63.4%) had the CDVA of ≥6/18. At 6 to 8wk postoperatively, 50 eyes(61.0%) had UDVA of ≥6/18, and57 eyes(69.5%) had the CDVA of ≥6/18. Postoperative visual status was significantly related to the co-morbidities, such as corneal pathology, glaucoma(P 【0.001).Operative complications, such as posterior capsule opacity and cystoid macular edema were main operative cause for the poor visual outcome.CONCLUSION: MSICS provides a good visual recovery in our study but the vision outcome did not fulfill the standards proposed by WHO, which highlights the need for an improvement in local socioeconomic understanding, population education and surgery quality.展开更多
