Vision is the essential part of our life. A good eye health is necessary to perform a lot of works such as cooking, sewing, studding, driving. it affects our social, economic life. Vision also affects the quality of life and a person’s physical and mental state. Objective: The study's main goal was to find out how much people in the community knew about primary eye care. Methods: A cross-sectional survey with questionnaires was done. The research site, target population, sample size (194 people), sampling method, research methodology, and work plan were all chosen. Results: The level of knowledge and awareness in the community was about average. Most people don't know much about primary eye care because there aren't many places to get information, and they can't access services. The study had 194 people sign up, of which 48.9% were men and 52.2% were women. 58.9% of the participants of study, were well aware and knew about basic eye care. Associated factors with awareness of Health care worker of community about Primary Eye Care showed significant association. Conclusion: Most people in the community know about primary eye care, and the results of this study seem to back up what they know. However, teaching people about primary eye care and eye care services is time. I would suggest through this study, to take extra measures to improve general awareness about eye care in community through social media and print media or papers so that people can avoid common eye diseases.
The measurement of central corneal thickness is an important measure for the diagnosis of corneal pathologies. 510–520 microns is the standard central corneal thickness. Optical or ultrasound techniques are used for the measurement of thickness CCT. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of age on central corneal thickness in normal population visiting The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Raiwind road Lahore. Methods: Descriptive study design was used. Data was obtained from The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Raiwind road Lahore. The sample size of patients was 147 with ages ranging from 20 to 60 years. All genders were included in the data collection. Data were collected through convenient sampling technique by using researcher administrative performa and study was finalized in three months after the approval of synopsis. Data entry and analysis were done using computer software SPSS version 25.0. CCT was measured by non-contact Pachymeter (Canon TX-20P) and values were represented in the form of frequency tables and bar charts. Results: CCT drops over time, resulting in thinner corneas in older people. The dependence of CCT on age is greater in men. Mean CCT in male individuals were 538.66 µm and in females mean CCT was 540.37µm. In this study mean central corneal thickness values of right and left eyes were also compared. In males right mean CCT value was 537.94 µm and left mean CCT was 539.39µm. In females the mean CCT value of right was540.28µm and left mean CCT value was 540.47µm. Conclusions: The Central Corneal Thickness decreases with age. Men have thinner corneas than females in every age group.
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.
