Abstract
Traumatic cataract is a major cause of visual impairment, particularly in regions with high rates of ocular trauma. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate visual and surgical outcomes following phacoemulsification in 62 patients with traumatic cataract at a tertiary center in Jharkhand. Most patients presented with poor preoperative vision and blunt trauma was more common than penetrating injuries. At 60 days postoperatively, 88.7% achieved 6/18 vision or better, with cystoid macular edema being the most frequent complication. Traumatic cataract surgery significantly improves visual outcomes, supporting early intervention and proper surgical technique for optimal results.
