Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Congenital cataract, characterized by opacification of the lens from birth, is one of the main causes of visual impairment in children globally. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications in visual development. METHODS: This study analyzed the number of congenital cataract surgeries performed in Brazil between 2013 and September 2023, using data from DATASUS. RESULTS: There were wide heterogeneity in the number of procedures performed in different regions of the country.The Southeast was the leading region in terms of number (873 surgeries), followed by the North (406), Northeast (459), Midwest (136) and South (131). DISCUSSION: The Southeast, due to its population density and access to specialized professionals, leads in the number of procedures. The North and Northeast require further assistance and preventive measures. On the other hand, the South and Midwest had lower numbers of surgeries, which may indicate a reduced incidence of the condition or less use of the SUS for this service. CONCLUSION: The study reveals disparities in congenital cataract surgeries. The Southeast leads in procedures, while the North and Northeast face access challenges. The South and Midwest have lower demand, due to factors such as lower incidence or use of the private network. In order to better understand these differences and optimize the allocation of resources, it is advisable to carry out more in-depth studies and improve the information on ophthalmology in DATASUS.
