Material & Methods: It was a retrospective case series of 33 cases with traumatic cataracts underwent cataract surgery between 2009 and 2012 in a rural population of Gilgit, Pakistan. Pre and post operative complications and visual acuity was noted of all cases. Results: Out of study subjects majority were male (91%) and the mean age was 26.8±6.2 years. In 91% cases initial best corrected visual acuity was not better than counting fingers. All patients underwent primary surgery. Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was safely achieved in 67% cases and a final visual acuity of 20/40 or better was obtained in 45% of eyes in our study. Preoperative and postoperative complications were also noted and their effect on final visual outcome was analyzed.
