Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the patients undergoing keratoplasty in Kashmir in terms of diagnosis, age, gender, the operated eye, geographic distribution of patients and indications for surgery Methodology: This was a cross-sectional hospital based study carried out on 112 patients who underwent keratoplasty from July 2017 to October 2018 in the department of Ophthalmology at SMHS Hospital GMC Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Results: A total of 112 penetrating keratoplasties were performed. Out of which 54.46% were males and 45.53% were females. The age of the patients ranged from 17 year to 90 year with mean age of 53.5 years. Among all the corneal disease pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (39.28%) was the leading indication for penetrating keratoplasty followed by corneal opacity (37.5%), corneal dystrophy(7.14%), keratoconus (5.36%),(4.5%),corneal degeneration (3.71%),and perforated corneal ulcer (2.7%) Conclusion: Contrary to other studies carried elsewhere in India, where Healed keratitis forms the bulk. Our observation has been about Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy being the frontrunner as an indication for keratoplasty in our center. This trend in our study is due to increase in Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation in outreach mass camps.
