Clinical Profiles and Surgical Outcomes of Strabismus Following Orbital Wall Fractures: A Large Cohort From a Tertiary Eye Care Center

Aim- To study the change in demography and injury pattern of ocular trauma during the lockdown period tothat of a similar period of the previous year. Materials & Methods- This is a retrospective analysis of the data of 362 patients with ocular trauma during the lockdown period from 25 March 2020 to 3 May 2020 and during a similar period of the previous year at a tertiary eye care center in India. Results- There was a decrease of 62.87% of patients of ocular trauma during the lockdown period because of the restricted lifestyle. Although home related and violence-related trauma increased, there was a decrease in trafc and sports-related trauma. Patients with chemical injury by sodium hypochlorite also had a sharp rise. Majority of the patients presented after two days during this period. Conclusion- Guidelines for mass health education and awareness about the risk of ocular trauma, morbidity caused by delayed presentation, and need to adopt safety or preventive strategies should be formulated so that future strategy can be planned to ght with the next pandemic or epidemic.

Introduction: Refractive error is a common cause of amblyopia. Objective: To determine prevalence of amblyopia and the pattern and the types of refractive error in children with amblyopia in a tertiary eye hospital of Nepal. Materials and methods: A retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with amblyopia in the Nepal Eye Hospital (NEH) from July 2006 to June 2011 was conducted. Children of age 13+ or who had any ocular pathology were excluded. Cycloplegic refraction and an ophthalmological examination was performed for all children. The pattern of refractive error and the association between types of refractive error and types of amblyopia were determined. Results: Amblyopia was found in 0.7 % (440) of 62,633 children examined in NEH during this period. All the amblyopic eyes of the subjects had refractive error. Fifty-six percent (248) of the patients were male and the mean age was 7.74 ± 2.97 years. Anisometropia was the most common cause of amblyopia (p < 0.001). One third (29 %) of the subjects had bilateral amblyopia due to high ametropia. Forty percent of eyes had severe amblyopia with visual acuity of 20/120 or worse. About twothirds (59.2 %) of the eyes had astigmatism. Conclusion: The prevalence of amblyopia in the Nepal Eye Hospital is 0.7%. Anisometropia is the most common cause of amblyopia. Astigmatism is the most common types of refractive error in amblyopic eyes. Nepal J Ophthalmol 2013; 5(9):38-44 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v5i1.7820
