Material and Methods:

The study was carried out in a tertiary health care hospital, part of a medical institution. The patients attended the OPD as well as hospitalized were taken as sample. Tools used for this purpose were interview schedule various modern diagnostic technique as well as particular investigations etc.

Pro-statistics:

The data collected were tabulated and various statistical method were applied as per requirement.

Observation and Discussion:

On analysis of this data it was noticed that 8.69 percent patients suffering from Glaucoma gave history of alcoholism and 15.2% that of smoking which were more or less in accordance of various studies conducted by various researches across the Globe.

Recommendation:

Authors personally feel that more and more studies with a large number of cases must be carried out to know the association between Glaucoma to alcoholism and smoking.

Objective:

To know the association between blood pressure and Glaucoma.

Material and Methods:

The study was carried out in a tertiary health care hospital, 46 patient of both sexes and nearly all age group were taken as sample.

Statistical Analysis:

The data collected from the sampled patients, stratified tabulated, analysed and inferences were drawn and simple statistical procedure like proportion etc. were applied as per requirement.

Observation and Discussion:

34.8 percent patient had systolic blood pressure 110-129mm of Hg while 50.00% of sampled patient had diastolic pressure 80-94 mm of Hg while 23.9 percent patient presented with 140-149 mm of Hg systolic blood pressure, and 19.6 percent patients 130-139 mmHg of systolic blood pressure.

As for as diastolic BP was concerned 30.4 percent and 19.6 percent patient having diastolic BP 70-79 and 95-109mm of Hg respectively.

Conclusion and Recommendation:

The findings of the present study was more or less similar to the findings of few other studies conducted by different authors from time to time.

Abstract

Aims and Objective:

To analyze the Keretometric changes occurred after SICS (small incision cataract surgery)

Material and Methods:

This study was conducted in upgraded Department of Ophthalmology (Tertiary health care Hospital). A total of 50 cases selected were of senile immature cataract. There was no cases of other complication. A detailed present, post, family history, social history was obtained. All necessary examination and investigation were performed.

Statistical Analysis:

Required statistical analysis was done.

Observation and Discussion:

It was noted that incidence of Astigmatism was 26% with rule on 3^rd post operative day which decreased to 20% on 6^th post operative day. The cases operated by SICS showed against the rule astigmatism on 3^rd post operative day. The findings of the present study were more or less in accordance of other studies.

Conclusion:

The result of this study showed less post operative astigmatism and early visual rehabilitation. SICS has come as a boon to fill in this fawning gap in between high cost, high tech phacomachine and conventional cataract surgery.
