Abstract: It has been found that vision impairment enhances physical disability, decreases movement, and even has a correlation with greater mortality. Our study evaluates functions of vision outcomes at Iraqi patients after cataract eyes in comparison with pre-surgery. This study recorded the functional and demographic data of 112 cataract patients from the Iraqi population who were willing to participate in this study during the period between February 2023 – March 2024. We evaluated visual functions after cataract surgery in comparison to before surgery. The current findings found that 41.96% of patients had been affected by the left eye. 33.93% of patients had affected by the right Eye, and 24.11% of patients affect with both eyes. The most frequent symptoms got blurry vision with 34 cases and difficulty with night vision with 24 cases. In the study, 112 patients were included, and the results indicated that 72 patients (64.29%) had visual acuity below 0.1, suggesting poor vision, while 13 patients (11.61%) had vision above 0.5, indicating excellent vision before surgery. Following surgery, 11 patients (9.82%) had visual acuity below 0.1, while 84 patients (75%) had vision above 0.5, indicating excellent vision. This finding underscores the efficacy of SICS in achieving optimal visual outcomes for the majority of its patients. In summary, cataracts significantly impair the visual function of the eye. Cataract surgery improves visual performance in patients with poor BCVA
