Background: Cataractous lenses manifest a number of changes such as protein modification. The present study was conducted to assess factors affecting the visual outcome in patients with phacolytic glaucoma. Subjects and Methods: Present study was conducted on 56 patients of phacolytic glaucoma of both genders. Patients were subjected to slit lamp examination. Fundus examination, IOP measurement and gonioscopy were done in all cases. Small Incision Cataract Surgery was done followed by posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in all cases. Results: Out of 58 patients, males were 58 and females were 26. Common complications were visual disturbances in 1, iritis in 7 and hyphema in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Clinical presentation was deep anterior chamber with flare in 40, lens matter in anterior chamber in 6 and pseudohypopyon in 12 cases. Conclusion: Authors found that the outcome found to be better. There were less complications in the groups.
Background: Uveitis is an intraocular inflammation involving primarily the uveal tract. The present study was conducted to assess blindness in patients with uveitis. Subjects and Methods: The present study was conducted on 94 patients of uveitis of both genders. Detailed ocular examination was done by slit lamp biomicroscopy and direct/indirect ophthalmoscopy. In all patients, ocular symptoms, duration and recurrence were noted. Visual acuity was examined with the help of Snellen's test type and field of vision was recorded with Bjerrum screen. Results: Out of 94 patients, males were 52 and females were 42. Anterior uveitis was seen in 30, intermediate in 15, posterior in 22 and panuveitis in 27 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). There were 8 unilateral and 9 bilateral cases of visual loss in anterior type of uveitis followed by 10 unilateral and 7 bilateral in posterior uveitis. The difference was non-significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that there were higher numbers of visual loss patients in anterior and posterior type of uveitis.
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.
