Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Endocrinology Department of Nampula Central Hospital in Mozambique. Patients’ knowledge, attitude and practice were assessed using a 90-point semi-structured questionnaire. Patients were classified into different categories according to their knowledge, attitude and practice. Data analysis was performed with the aid of SPSS version 20, where frequency distribution and measures of central tendency (mean, median and standard deviation) were used to summarize the descriptive part of the study. The median of Likert scale was calculated and used to identify the majority opinion for questions related to Diabetic retinopathy. Participants were included in the study as part of the sample after signing informed consent. Results: A sample of 305 participants was studied, where 163(53.4%) were male and 142(46.6%) were female; the mean age of the participants was 52.08(±13.04) years. The mean duration of diabetes was 7.2(±6.3) years. The most prevalent treatment was the combination of diet with medication represented by 51.8%. The participants had an average score of 3.98 in the knowledge section and a satisfaction level of 58.0%. The average score in the attitude was 2.92, being negative in 51.5%, and about practice they scored in average 3.49, being positive in 51.5% of the participants. Conclusion: Study participants have satisfactory knowledge and favorable practices regarding diabetic retinopathy, but the majority’s attitude is negative.","PeriodicalId":236666,"journal":{"name":"Modern Research in Vision and Ophthalmology","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121825099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Place of Study: This study was carried out in Teaching Hospital, University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross- sectional study was conducted in Teaching Hospital, UOL. Tear break up time was measured on patients post-operatively who under -went cataract surgery. A total of 60 patients were included in study after non –probability convenient sampling technique. Both male and female patients were included in study age 45-65 years. Data was collected through self-designed questionnaire based proforma. Further results were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Tear break up time was found statistically reduced at 1 week, 2 week and after one month postoperatively(P =.0002, P<.0001). However, the tear film stability had reverted to approximately the preoperative measurement 1 month after surgery. The mean values of postoperative results were altered from preoperative measurement values. BUT outcomes had reduced considerably at 1 week postoperatively (P=.0001) but had resumed to very nearly the preoperative value 1 month after of cataract surgery. While goblet cell density (GCD) had reduced considerably at 1 week, 2 weekand 1 month postoperatively (P<.0001). Conclusion: This study concludes that tear breakup time is significantly reduced after cataract surgery due to destruction of goblet cells as shown in above tables. But tear break up time is significantly improved after one week, two weeks and one month of follow ups respectively","PeriodicalId":236666,"journal":{"name":"Modern Research in Vision and Ophthalmology","volume":"443 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125086943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
