The purpose of the present study is to describe the relationship between refractive errors, axial ocular dimensions, anterior chamber depth and corneal curvature, specifically to determine whether the refractive associations of these biometric variables are mutually related. METHODS We have conducted a prospective case study in patients attending the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology, in Government General Hospital, Kakinada, during the period of October 2012 to December 2014. The study was done in 250 patients in order to evaluate refractive errors are determined by axial length of the eyeball. RESULTS It was observed that maximum number of myopics 18.8% are in 10-19 years' age group followed by 12.8% in 20-29 years' age group. However, hypermetropia is seen at little higher age, maximum of 16.4% in the age group of 20-29 years. It is also observed that hypermetropia make up the maximum number i.e. 45.2% followed by myopia 34.4%. CONCLUSION We came to conclusion that most of the refractive errors are determined by axial length of the eye ball.
The present study is to delineate early and late complication rates of cataract surgery in both SICS and ECCE. METHODS We have conducted a prospective case study in patients attended Outpatient Department of Government General Hospital, Kakinada during the period of 2010-2012. RESULTS One hundred cases of cataract extraction (classical ECCE, Manual SICS, with or without PCIOL implantation) were observed during the postoperative period from 2010-2012 for the incidence of complications of cataract extraction. CONCLUSION In this study, more number of complications are associated with ECCE when compared to Manual SICS.
BACKGROUND HIV infection can manifest in a variety of ways in and around the eyes and these manifestations vary according to HIV disease severity. The ophthalmologist has an important role in the diagnosis and management of ocular complications of HIV. The eye is the most common organ affected due to HIV. Ocular involvement in HIV is about 50-70%. Ocular lesions are varied and affect almost all structures of the eye. The aim of the study is to study the ocular complications in HIV patients attending at Government General Hospital, Kakinada, from January 2014 to August 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a longitudinal study included 200 cases with ocular complications admitted in ophthalmic wards of Government General Hospital, Kakinada, and referrals from STD, TB and other departments during the period of January 2014 to August 2016. RESULTS The observations from the study were analysed and compared with the existing literature. CONCLUSION HIV can affect the various structures of the eye and adnexa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
