Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology (IJCEO) is open access, a peer-reviewed medical journal, published quarterly, online, and in print, by the Innovative Education and Scientific Research Foundation (IESRF) since 2015. To fulfil our aim of rapid dissemination of knowledge, we publish articles ‘Ahead of Print’ on acceptance. In addition, the journal allows free access (Open Access) to its content, which is likely to attract more readers and citations of articles published in IJCEO.

Abstract
Aim: To assess corneal complications and visual outcome of manual small incision cataract surgery.
Materials and Methods: This study comprises of 227 patients in a tertiary care centre in Kolar district, who underwent MSICS were examined for corneal complications and visual outcome postoperatively on Day 1, 1 week, and at the end of 6 week also visual acuity (VA) assessment, anterior segment evaluation with slit lamp biomicroscopy, posterior segment evaluation using indirect ophthalmoscopy, and keratometry was done.
Results: 227 participants were included in the study, of whom 138 (61%) were female and 89 (39%) were male. The maximum number of patients being in the age group of 61-70 (42.7%). OCTET grading was done for corneal edema patients and on post-op Day 1, total 62 patients who had corneal edema in the study were graded according to OCTET classification, and 6 patients (9.6%) had grade 1, 17 patients (27.4%) had grade 2 and 39 patients (63%) had grade 3. At the end of 6 weeks postoperatively, 45 patients had clear cornea, and 5 patients (8%) had grade 1, 6 patients (9.5%) had grade 2, and 7 patients (11.1%) had grade 3, and 82.3% of patients had VA of 6/6 to 6/9 followed by 11% had 6/12 to 6/18 and 6.6% had 6/24 to 6/36.
Conclusion: Small incision cataract surgery is the most cost-effective surgery if corneal endothelium is protected during surgery and will have early visual rehabilitation.
Keywords: Corneal complications, Cataract surgery, OCTET classification, MSICS.
