In this retrospective study, medical records of 47 consecutive patients (94 eyes) who underwent simultaneous bilaterale small-incision cataract surgery between januar 2010 and December 2015 in outreach surgical camps in rural Cameroon were reviwed. At the 4 week follow-up, 84,04% of the eyes showed increased visual acuity of one line or more. No cases of post operative endophtalmitis were recorded. Under the strict observation of endophtalmitis prophylaxis, simultaneous bilaterale small-incision cataract surgery is an option to reduce the cataract blindness backlog in rural areas of developing countries
