PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of @entity231 surgery and the postoperative visual outcomes in @entity6220 . SETTING: Villages in @entity6220 . DESIGN: Cohort study. METHODS: The population-based Central India Eye and Medical Study examined the prevalence of surgical @entity6781 / @entity4118 , the postoperative @entity227 , and the reasons for @entity227 in subjects aged 30+ in @entity6220 . @entity227 was defined as (1) presenting @entity227 worse than 6/18 or (2) corrected distance @entity227 (CDVA) worse than 6/18. RESULTS: Of the 9392 eyes (99.7%) of 4711 subjects with available data on the lens status, 318 eyes (3.4%) (234 @entity1 , 129 @entity1 ) had had @entity231 surgery (5.0%    0.3%). @entity231 surgery was significantly associated with age (P<.001), female sex (P = .008), @entity6 (P<.001). The prevalence of postoperative presenting @entity227 was 63% (201/318 eyes) and of postoperative @entity227 , 36% (117/318 eyes). The major cause of the former was incorrect intraocular lens (IOL) power (42%); the major causes of the latter were posterior capsule @entity3236 (24%), surgical complications (21%), age-related @entity1020 (10.3%), other @entity74 (4.3%), corneal opacities (3.4%), and @entity726 (2.0%). Surgical complications were significantly more common in the aphakic group than in the pseudophakic group (46.4% versus 2.0%; P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 5% of the central India population aged 30 years or older had had @entity231 surgery. Postoperative @entity227 was present in 2 of 3 eyes. The major reasons were incorrect IOL power and surgical complications. Improved IOL power calculations and improved surgical techniques may markedly improve postoperative outcome.
