Purpose: To determine the outcome of squint surgery in terms of motor ocular alignment within 10 prism diopters, in a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: A clinical audit at a tertiary care hospital. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Ophthalmology department, of Aga khan university hospital, Karachi between December 2016 and June 2017. Methods: Medical records of all patients who underwent squint surgery were retrieved and included in the study. Patients with amblyopia, corneal or retinal pathologies and those who lost to follow-up or with incomplete records were excluded. All the available demographic and clinical data including pre-operative visual acuity, squint measurements, procedure performed and post-operative ocular alignment up to maximum of 6 months of follow-up was compiled. Results: One hundred and nineteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 54.6% males and 45.4% were females. Squint was unilateral in 75.4% of patients and bilateral in 24.5%. Exotropia was present in 74 (62%) and Esotropia in 45 (38%) patients. The frequency of post-operative outcomes among the study participants were analyzed and it was reported that at six months follow-up central straight eye position or squint less than 10 prism diopters was seen among 75.5% of patients. The association of age and gender with primary outcome was obtained by applying independent sample T test. All the categories of age and gender showed statistically significant results i.e. p-value ? 0.05, except one week follow-up among different categories of gender showing insignificant results with p value = 0.740. Conclusion: In present study 75.5% patients achieved the required result of ocular alignment within 10 prism diopters of orthotropia at the final follow-up visit. Key Words: Squint, Esotropia, Exotropia, 10 prism Diopters.

Methodology: This was a retrospective observational study done in adult covid positive patients admitted in Tertiary Care Hospital from first May 2020 to 30 June 2021.The age related mortality and outcome in these patients was analyzed. Results: A total of 816 adult covid -19 positive patients were admitted in a Tertiary care hospital,GMC Anantnag from May 2020 to June 2021. Among the patients, 53.55 % were males and 46.44 % were females. The mean of the age involved was 57.96 years.
