BACKGROUND: A total of 600 'first-time served' patients with confirmed ocular pathologies visited our clinic between 1987 and 1988.
METHODS: These patients and their ocular diseases were classified according to age, sex, and employment. Gender mix was 53.5 percent male, 46.5 percent female.
RESULTS: Of the total disease conditions, 42 percent fell within the 0-30 age group, 44 percent fell within the 31-60 age group and 14 percent fell between 61-90. The relative incidence of ocular disease within this clinic population was: 32.8 percent conjunctivitis; 28.8 percent cataract; 15.5 percent glaucoma; 11.5 percent pterygium; 1.8 percent optic atrophy; and 9.5 percent other.
CONCLUSIONS: Caution is made to generalize these data to the population at large since those without financial means were not represented in this study.
