Their literacy rate is below average and economic state is also miserable. Overall, this community is very backward and is the poorest of Nepal’s poor. The prevalence of ocular abnormalities in Chepang has rarely been reported. A very little is known about the ocular morbidity status among Chepang children. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out to find the prevalence of refractive error and other ocular morbidities among Chepang children. A complete eye examination was carried out in all children including slit lamp examination, fundus examination, retinoscopy and subjective refraction. Result: Of 120 children, refractive error was present in 18 (15%) children. The prevalence of myopia (spherical equivalent, −0.50 D or more in either eye), astigmatism (≥0.75 D), and hyperopia (+0.50D or more) was 4.1%, 6.6%, and 4.1% respectively. Of 120 children, 2(1.67%) had amblyopia, 4(3.33%) had cataract, 1(0.83%) had nystagmus, 2(1.67%) had corneal opacity, 8(6.67%) had blepharitis, 4(3.33%) had conjunctivitis. The overall prevalence of ocular morbidity was 32.5% Conclusion: Ocular morbidity is more prevalent among chepang children and is a public health concern among these indigenous populations.","PeriodicalId":91023,"journal":{"name":"JOJ ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44700303","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}

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, hospital-based survey involving 119 participants with unilateral absolute blindness (no perception of light) out of the 14,439 patients, who attended the ophthalmic clinic from 1 st December 2009 to 28 th February 2011. Information on their socio-demographic characteristics and clinical ophthalmic profile were collected using a close-ended, interviewer-administered questionnaire. Causes of the absolute blindness were ascertained following ophthalmic evaluation. Data was analysed using SPSS 21 Results: The participants comprised of 64 males and 55 females with a mean age of 51.52 ± 22.16 SD years, and age range 2 to 93. They had at least primary school education, were predominantly farmers and lived in rural areas. The prevalence of unilateral absolute blindness was 0.82%, (0.44% in males, and 0.38% in females). Glaucoma, 42 (35%) and trauma 23(19.3%) were the commonest causes of absolute blindness. The majority of the participants had absolute blindness for more than three months (84.1%) with diseased fellow eyes (66.4%). Causes of disease in the fellow eyes included glaucoma, cataract, aphakia and refractive error. Conclusion: The prevalence of unilateral absolute blindness is significant in the study area. These patients are on verge of being bilaterally and irreversibly blind from glaucoma. Interestingly, cataract, aphakia and refractive error are amenable to cost effective treatments. Appropriate public eye health measures to forestall this tragedy, particularly targeting poorly educated farmers in the rural areas are therefore advised.","PeriodicalId":91023,"journal":{"name":"JOJ ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46680836","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}

A recent meta-analysis of 16 published trials showed that there was a 24% reduction in risk of all mortality in children aged six months to five years in response to vitamin A supplementation. There was a 28% reduction in cause specific mortality associated with diarrhea, and a significant reduction in the incidence of diarrhea by 15% and measles by 50%. The same meta-analysis showed that vitamin A supplementation produced a 15% reduction in the incidence and prevalence of night blindness and a 68% reduction in the prevalence of blinding xerophthalmia [2]. Strategies to reduce vitamin A deficiency are promotion of home gardening, health education, food diversification and fortification, and vitamin A supplementation [3,4]. Of these strategies, distribution of vitamin A supplements is the most cost effective and has been adopted as a key component of the Millennium Development Goals of reducing under 5 mortality by two thirds by the year 2015 [5]. Vitamin A deficiency is considered a public health problem in over 60 countries including Ghana [6].","PeriodicalId":91023,"journal":{"name":"JOJ ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43826270","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}
