Abstract

A total of 116 patients in Nepal with advanced leprosy were examined in an ophthalmological survey. All patients were older than 20 years and none had suffered from leprosy for less than 10 years. Abnormal ocular findings occurred in 69.8% of all patients and 9.3% of the eyes were blind. The results are compared with those of other authors.
