The present cross-sectional study envisages to document cataract prevalence, its relationship with various factors and cataract surgical coverage among adults (40 years & above). This study was conducted in two randomly selected villages in Miran Sahib zone of RS Pura block of Jammu District in India. For the purpose of studying the prevalence of cataract, aphakia / pseudophakia resulting from previous cataract surgery or an opacity observed against the red glow of the fundus, through a dilated pupil, using Distant Direct Ophthalmoscope were classified as cases.
