Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Headache is the commonest symptom associated with eye - strain. It may be localized to the immediate neighborhood of the eyes or may become generalized. It varies widely in nature. Sometimes it is superficial and resembles a cutaneous hyperesthesia, sometimes deep -seated and boring or full and throbbing; it may be a dull and heavy ache difficult to describe or to localize accurately, or it may be neuralgic in nature, sharp, shooting and lancinating Methodology: Patients who showed positive features for ocular causes of headache were included in the present study. A proforma was prepared to have a systemic record of each case. Such hundred patients have been studied and evaluated with respect to age, sex, occupation, ext. Each of these patients were studied by taking a detailed history and performing meticulous systemic and ocular examination, consisting of detailed study of globe and adnexa Results: The major cause of eye-strain is refractive error (61.85%). Accommodation insufficiency (12.37%) and convergence insufficiency (7.22%) are equally important. Aniseikonia, although not measured with eikonometer, was interpreted from anisometropia present (5.15%). Conclusion: The overall tally is showing greater number than the total number of eyestrain cases because more than one cause of eye strain may be present in some patient etc astigmatism with accommodation insufficiency.
