Abstract

Cataracts are the second most common cause of blindness in the world at 33%. The incidence of cataracts is 0.1% of the total population, so the number of new cataract cases in Indonesia is estimated at 250,000 per year. This study aims to compare the visual acuity of post cataract surgery patients with Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification techniques at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar. This study was a retrospective cohort at Ophthalmologist’s Outpatient Departement of Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar, Bali. The sample of this study was 60 patients with 84 eyes with senile cataract. The surgical techniques performed were Small Incision Cataract Surgery (53.6%) and Phacoemulsification (46.4%). After that, an Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA) examination was carried out on day 1 and day 42. The result were cataract patients at Sanjiwani Hospital, Gianyar aged 60-65 years who were male. Comparison of visual acuity after Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification had the same results. On day 1 and day 42, there was no different uncorrected visual acuity result between Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phacoemulsification statistically.
