dc.description.abstract | Aim: To determine the incidence of various refractive errors in patients presented to eye OPD of Islam teaching hospital Sialkot. Methods: Patients visited to eye OPD of Islam teaching hospital Sialkot were collected on designed proforma where they were assessed for visual acuity and refraction was done by Snellen chart, Autorefractometer and retinoscope. Prescription of glasses was advised for various refractive errors like myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism Results: Out of 150 patients there were 40% males and 60% females. There were 27.3% myopes, 12.6% hypermetropes and 60% astigmatism were recorded.13% amblyopia and 4.6% strabismus were recorded from total sample. Conclusion: The incidence of various refractive errors was high like astigmatism and myopia that was most prevalent in this region of Sialkot. So, it is suggested that the incidence of low vision is highly common due to various refractive errors which can be corrected by various methods like spectacles, contacts and Eximer laser etc and can be prevented to develop amblyopia and squint. | en_US |
