Dr. N. Jeyanthi, Dr. K. Nagarani

Abstract :

Aim : To analyze the magnitude and pattern of ocular conditions and pathologies as seen in patients who were referred to the Ophthalmology department from dermatology department. Methods : A total of 100 patients with ocular manifestations of all age groups who were referred from dermatology department during the period June 2017 to June 2018 were examined which include visual acuity testing using Snellen’s chart, refraction, slit lamp biomicroscopy. Ocular complications due to other causes like an injury were excluded from the study. Results : Out of 100 patients, maximum cases were found in between 36–45 years age i.e. 29%, females are more commonly affected. Most common ocular manifestation is conjunctivitis seen in 33 patients. In the present study subjects, both eyes involvement was seen in 55% of cases, right eye in 31% and left eye 14% of cases. Common conditions were Herpes Zoster ophthalmicus (24%), Leprosy (22%), Pemphigus vulgaris (9%) and Stevens Johnson Syndrome (7%). Conclusion : In our study, herpes zoster ophthalmicus, leprosy, pemphigus vulgaris, and SJS, are the most common dermatological disorders with ocular manifestations.Patients with the above dermatological disorders had significant ocular manifestations for which early intervention can prevent the ocular morbidity.
