Abstract
12-17% pregnant women face various problems related to pregnancy and child birth. The alarming symptoms of eye with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension are blurring, dimness of vision and at times complete blindness. 60 pregnant women with third trimester of normal pregnancy and PIH were selected for the study.
