ANAEMIA AS AN AETIOLOGICAL FACTOR IN CONVERGENCE INSUFFICIENCY

Trachoma as an Aetiological Factor in Glaucoma.

TRACHOMA is one of the major causes of blindness, especially in the East. The common sequelae of corneal involvement by trachoma are only too well known, but the hypertensive aspect of the trachomatous process leading to blindness has not been adequately explored. Conflicting reports have appeared in the literature regarding the relationship of trachoma and ocular hypertension. Muller (1900), d...

Severe aplastic anaemia--an aetiological correlation.

Over 4 years, 43 cases of severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) were seen. Etiologically 58.1% had idiopathic, 39.5% secondary and 2.3% congenital aplastic, anaemia. Idiopathic SAA was more common in patients between 0-15 years of age, whereas secondary SAA was more frequent in 16-60 years age group. Males were more commonly affected with a male:female ratio of 3.3:1. Amongst 17 cases of secondary SAA,...

Alcohol as an alternative therapy in accommodative and convergence insufficiency.

Aetiological considerations of acquired aplastic anaemia.

BACKGROUND Acquired aplastic anaemia is one of the important causes of pancytopenia. This study was conducted to observe the mode of presentation of acquired aplastic anaemia and to find out its possible etiological factors. METHODS It is a hospital based descriptive study of 100 patients of acquired aplastic anaemia. RESULTS Out of 100 patients 60 were male and 40 female. Majority (44%) of...

Convergence Insufficiency

Types of Convergence (1) Voluntary Convergence – Amount of Convergence of visual axes that can be produced at will (2) Reflex convergence Convergence of visual axes which is not under complete voluntary control and it has four components – a. Tonic convergence – Due to inherent innervational tone of extra ocular muscles. b. Fusional convergence -The convergence that is produced to ensure that s...
