Title

Visual Impairment Registry of Patients from North Kolkata, Eastern India: A Hospital‑ based Study

Pages

  50-54

Abstract

 Purpose: To study the demographic profile, severity and causes of Visual Impairment among registered patients in a tertiary care hospital in north Kolkata, eastern India, and to assess the magnitude of under‑ Registration in that population. Methods: This is a retrospective analytical study. A review of all visually impaired patients registered at our tertiary care hospital during a ten‑ year period from January 2005 to December 2014, which is entitled for certification of people of north Kolkata, eastern India (with a population denominator of 1. 1 million), was performed. Overall, 2472 eyes of 1236 patients were analyzed in terms of demographic characteristics, cause of Visual Impairment, and percentage of visual Disability as per the guidelines established by the government of India. Results: Male patients (844, 68. 28%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 65. 69‑ 70. 87) registered more often than female patients (392; 31. 72%, P = 0. 0004). The Registration rate for Visual Impairment was 11. 24 per 100, 000 per annum; this is not the true incidence rate, as both new patients and those visiting for renewal of certification were included in the study. Optic Atrophy was the most common cause of Visual Impairment (384 eyes, 15. 53%; 95% CI, 14. 1‑ 16. 96). Conclusion: Commonest cause of Visual Impairment was Optic Atrophy followed by microphthalmos. Under‑ Registration is a prevalent problem as the Registration system is voluntary rather than mandatory, and female patients are more likely to be unregistered in this area.
