Measuring the burden of ocular morbidity.

This hospital-based study highlights the spectrum of eye ailments in 35,273 patients who attended the Department of Ophthalmology at the B P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Eastern Nepal, during a 5-year period with varied clinical diagnosis. The attendance each year showed a progressive increase with a male preponderance. More than 13% of the patients were children. Cataract was the most common problem for which patients needed ophthalmic advice; diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy were frequent occurrences and infection was a common problem. Over 21% of the eyes examined had a refractive error: as high as 2.54% were amyblyopic caused by non-correction of refractive errors. Allergic conjunctivitis was frequently encountered. As shown by the magnitude of the problem, the existing eye care facilities must be enhanced and new strategies developed.

Surgical outcomes of Epibulbar dermoids.

PURPOSE: To evaluate results of lamellar keratoplasty in limbal dermoid. METHODS: The ocular records were reviewed of 155 consecutive eyes with solid epibulbar dermoids that underwent lamellar keratoplasty at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences from 1977 to 1998. According to the size and location, the dermoids were managed surgically either by sectoral, annular, or central lamellar keratoplasty. RESULTS: All but 16 eyes improved cosmetically; while all the patients showed reduction in astigmatism, 116 eyes improved functionally. CONCLUSION: Excision with lamellar keratoplasty appears to be an effective means of management for extensive limbal dermoid. To avoid development of amblyopia, surgery at an early age is preferred.
