Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim of this study was to contribute towards a better understanding of presbyopia in the subject, with a view to improving its management. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive and analytical retrospective study of the medical records of patients who were received and followed up in the ophthalmology department of the CHU de Bouaké for presbyopia. It took place from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017, a period of 5 years. Results: The prevalence was 09.16%. %. The mean age of patients was 51.62 years with extremes of 40 and 86 years. Females predominated (55.61%), with a sex ratio of 0.8. Craftsmen were the most represented socio-professional group (30.49%). Of the total number of patients seen, 34.98% were already wearing corrective lenses. The age of first presbyopia correction was 50.39 years, with extremes of 40 and 82 years for males. For women, it was 51.49 years, with extremes of 40 and 86 years (Table 3). For the 637 male patients, the mean addition value for near vision was 2.02 diopters, with extremes of 1.00 and 5.00 diopters. For the 798 female patients, it was 2.11 diopters, with extremes of 0.75 and 7.50 diopters (Table 4). Presbyopia was isolated in 5.64% of patients.
