Background: Posterior polar cataracts are a relatively uncommon but challenging clinical entity characterized by opacities in the posterior capsule of the lens. Understanding the demographics and surgical outcomes of patients with this condition is essential for optimizing their management and improving visual outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the demographics, surgical techniques, and outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for posterior polar cataracts at the World College of Medical Science and Research Hospital, Haryana, between January 2017 to March 2020. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 112 patients. Demographic data, preoperative visual acuity, surgical techniques employed, and postoperative complications were recorded. Visual acuity improvement was assessed, and descriptive statistics and percentages were calculated for various parameters. Results: The study found that posterior polar cataracts primarily affected middle-aged and elderly individuals. Phacoemulsification was the preferred surgical technique, performed in 85% of cases. Postoperatively, 92% of patients showed significant visual acuity improvement. Complication rates were low, with posterior capsule opacification being the most common postoperative issue (6%). Conclusions: Surgical intervention for posterior polar cataracts, particularly using phacoemulsification, yielded favorable outcomes with a high rate of visual improvement and low complication rates. This study provides valuable insights into the demographics and surgical outcomes of posterior polar cataract patients, contributing to the optimization of their clinical management.
