Reasons of visual disability: Cataract, the most important avoidable cause

Öz

Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the causes of visual disability and the frequency of cataract. Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study. All patients who applied to the state hospital for a period of 5 years were included in the study. 1325 people whose visual disability was detected by scanning “disability reports” and based on clinical data were included in the study. These people were visited at their homes between 01 May 2015 - 31 December 2018 and field work was carried out. Chi square test was used for the statistical analyses. Results: It was determined that 14.2% were blind and 85.8% had low vision. The first five causes of visual disability were cataract (31.7%), age-related macular degeneration (15.4%), genetic-hereditary causes (7.5%), refractive error (5.2%) and accidents (5.0%) respectively. It was determined that cataract is the most important cause of blindness (37.2%) and low vision (30.8%). Senile macular degeneration was found to be the second most common cause of blindness (13.8%) and low vision (15.7%). Conclusion: It has been revealed that most of the causes of visual disability are preventable and treatable causes. In order to prevent or reduce visual disability, field scans and early diagnosis and treatment services have to be extended.
