Abstract

The author discusses the outcomes of follow-up visits after cataract surgery in developing countries. He discusses the importance of follow-up check-ups, where it ensures the success of the surgery and detects if there were postoperative complications. He is critical that several outcomes contribute in incomplete check-ups including the high-rate of comorbidity, absence of preoperative biometry, and limited resources.
