Age, gender, type of cataract, comorbid ocular disease, previous ocular surgeries and systemic diseases were recorded. By slit lamp examination with dilated pupils, cataract was classified as nuclear, cortical, posterior subcapsular, mixed and mature. Results Mean age was 67.87 ± 9.71 years (range: 45-95 years).

The most common cataract type was nuclear cataract (27.2%); followed by posterior subcapsular cataract (24.7%), mixed cataract (23.1%), cortical cataract (14.9%) and mature cataract (10.0%).
