Purpose
To assess ASPI in early diagnosis and triaging of camp patients based on pre operative findings
Setting
Hospital based comparative study on cataract screening camp patients brought to a tertiary eye care hospital between January on 2023 to January of 2024
Methods
Our do it yourself device, ASPI was used with aid of a smartphone to screen a total of 1322 cataract camp patients. Anterior segment videos were taken by ASPI at the camp site and findings were documented. Subsequently the patients were examined on slit lamp at a tertiary hospital. Pre operative findings of grade of cataract, psuedoexfoliation, pupil size, phacodonesis, subluxation, corneal opacities were documented and patients were categorized into two sections. Grade 1 having simple cataracts and grade 2 patients with challenging cataracts. The documented findings with ASPI and slit lamp were compared
Results
Diagnosis and triaging of cataract patients based on preoperative findings was similar between ASPI and slit lamp examination and was statistically significant
Conclusion
ASPI can be considered as a screening tool for early diagnosis and triaging of patients of cataract camp screening in a high volume set up
