PURPOSE: To report pattern of uveitic patients with hypotony in Indian population.
METHODS: Retrospective medical record review of 30 eyes of 21 consecutive patients with uveitic hypotony. Patient demographics, ocular findings and systemic association were recorded.
RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 29.5 years (range 7-71 years) and 80.9%(17 patients) were below the age of 40 years. Most common complaint associated with the development of hypotony was diminution of vision (26 eyes; 86.6%), and cells in anterior vitreous (25 eyes, 83.3%) were the most common slit-lamp finding. Most common type of ocular inflammation causing hypotony was panuveitis (14, 46.6%), and ocular tuberculosis (5; 23.8%) was the most common cause of uveitis in these patients.
CONCLUSION: Ocular hypotony is a rare but dreaded complication of uveitis. The etiology of uveitic hypotony is not uniform across the world, and tuberculosis remains an important cause of uveitic hypotony in tuberculosis endemic country like India.
