1. Basic profile of respondents

This section describes the understanding of respondents' basic profile related to their gender, age, marital status and education level. We also tried to highlight the respondent's operated eye by understanding which eyes operated on during the assessment period October 2020 to March 2021. Among the total sample of 64 patients, 52% were male, and 48% were female. We found people within the age bracket of 50 to 64 years were the maximum 59% who reported the base hospital for cataract surgeries. Importantly, we observed that 52% of patients' left eyes operated on during this assessment period. It also found that 39% of operated patients are illiterate, 25% have primary schooling, and 33% have secondary schooling.
