Aim: Our study aimed to describe the tonometric profile of patients consulting in the Ophthalmology department of University Teaching Hospital of Kara (UTH Kara). Study method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional retrospective study on the files of patients who consulted in the ophthalmology department of the CHU Kara and who performed a tonometric examination over the period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021 i.e. a period of 02 and a half years. Results: During this 30-month study period, 225 patients consulted in the ophthalmology department of University Teaching Hospital of Kara, which corresponds to a six-monthly frequency of 20% (45 patients). The mean age of our patients was 29.78 ± 13.39 years with extremes of 5 and 69 years. The 11 to 21 age group was in the majority. the female sex was predominant (65.78%) with an M / F ratio of 0.52. Pupils / students (48.90%) and civil servants (31.20%) were the majority of the consultants. Eye pain (23.6%), blurring of vision (21.3%), Headache (17.8%) and reduced visual acuity (13.3%) were the main reasons for consultation. The mean intraocular pressure of our patients was 15.46 mm Hg. It was 15.52 mm Hg ± 4.26 in the right eye (OD) and 15.41 mm Hg ± 4.70 in the left eye (OG). In 4.4% of cases, ocular hypertonia between 22 and 29 mmHg was noted. Conclusion: The prevention of the occurrence of glaucoma in isolated hypertonia and better management of known glaucomatous patients seem to justify rigorous tonometric monitoring at all ages.

Aim: To study clinical and epidemiological characteristics of child's ocular injuries. Patients and Method: Retrospective study on medical records of children suffering from traumatic injuries of the ocular globe presented to the Campus Teaching Hospital (CHU Campus) of Lomé from 3 January 2015 to 30 June 2016 (18 months). Age, sex, nature of the traumatising agent, consultation delay and the width of the injury (zone I, II or III), the classification of ocular trauma, according to "Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT) system", connected lesions have been studied. Results: Twenty children about 46.51% children presented for ocular trauma have been suffering from a globe injury. The average age was 6.68 years with the extremes of 1 year and 12 years; the age bracket of 0 -5 years was more represented (45%); predominance was more from the female with a sex-ratio = 0.67. Eighty percent of the children were from rural areas while twenty from urban areas. The delay of consultation was less than 24 hours in 40% of cases and 15% consulted between 24 h and 72 h after the trauma. Traumatisms were entirely unilateral and penetrating within a majority of 15 (75%) cases of which a "stick" is the traumatising agent of the most frequent (40%). The seat of the injury was the zone I (85.71%) and zone II (14.29%). Connected lesions were dominated by iris hernia 7 (35%) and traumatic cataract 6 (30%). Conclusion: children's traumas were high predominantly and they came in majority from rural zones. Prevention through awareness remains the best treatment.
