PEREZ SANCHEZ, Rebeca et al.  Characterization of operated Peruvian patients with traumatic cataract. MEDISAN [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.4, pp. 551-558. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross sectional study of 75 operated patients due to a traumatic cataract, assisted in the Ophthalmological Center in Copacabana, Bolivia was carried out from January to December, 2007, in order to determine the results of the surgery in those affected. Among the analyzed variables they were: age, sex, trauma type, associate ocular changes, better corrected visual acuity, surgical behaviour and complications. Cataracts due to contusion trauma prevailed in the male sex and in the age group 36-55, as well as the posterior capsular rupture and the pupillary deformity as the most frequent complications. Most of the patients achieved a vision higher than 0.5, to whom intraocular lens were implanted, what guaranteed their good visual prognosis; with this the number of complications and disabling sequels decreased
