    Cataract surgery successfully treated 1000 patients at the Ophthalmological Centre of BOPP in Dakar. The study compared surgical techniques, highlighting challenges in preventing infections and correcting vision after surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • The Ophthalmological Centre of BOPP in Dakar performed 1000 cataract surgeries.
    • Cataracts represent a significant cause of visual impairment globally.
    • This study offers insights into cataract surgery outcomes in a resource-limited setting.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the results of 1000 cataract surgeries performed at the Ophthalmological Centre of BOPP.
    • To compare extracapsular versus intracapsular cataract extraction techniques.
    • To identify challenges in managing complications and optical correction.

    Summary:

    • 1000 cataract surgeries were analyzed based on patient demographics, cataract type, and surgical outcomes.
    • Extracapsular and intracapsular techniques were compared, with a focus on endophthalmitis prevention and aphakic optical correction.
