title: Final visual outcome following re exploration of cataracts performed by trainee surgeons in India.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the outcome of secondary intraocular lens implantation, compare final visual outcome between different categories of surgeon, and evaluate care provided by teaching hospitals to patients with capsular complications.
  
  
  METHODS
  
  
  
  METHODS
  Teaching hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study. Subjects were recruited by examination of electronic medical records. All patients operated for corrective surgery following capsular complications during cataract surgery were included. All patient medical records were reviewed, and data were collected for 359 eyes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Visual acuity and major complications. All collected data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed by SPSS 17 software using cross tabulation and Chi-squared tests.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Surgical intervention made a significant difference to the final visual outcome (P < 0.001). The category of the trainee had a significant effect on the final visual outcome (P = 0.021).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Capsular complications during cataract surgery should be surgically treated to improve outcome.
