    Notes: Abstract The incidence of cataract in Nepal was determined from data collected in 14 mobile eye hospitals (called ‘eye camps’). Of a total of 12,217 patients examined in the out-patient department (OPD), cataract surgery was performed on 2,163. The percentage of cataract patients in the OPD was less in the mountains (13.8%) than in the Tarai plains (19.8%). In the inhabitants of the mountains, the majority of whom belong to the Tibeto-Birman race, cataracts appeared at a significantly later age in both males and females compared to the people of the plains, who are mostly Indo-Aryan. Cataracts were discovered in both groups at a younger age in women than in men.

    Corneal ulcers in Nepal (1982)
    Springer
    Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology 219 (1982), S. 55-59

    Notes: Abstract In Kathmandu, Nepal, 133 cases of corneal ulcers were examined and scraped by the investigators during 1981. Corneal ulcers were seen to be more common in females during the active years of life, occurring more frequently during monsoon and autumn seasons. Trauma by vegetative matter was the common antecedent. Organisms were grown in about 50.0% of the cases. Bacteria were seen to be responsible in about 75.0%, and fungi in about 25.0% of growth-positive cases. Sensitivity tests in vitro showed that carbenicillin, chloramphenicol, cephaloridine, methicillin, and lincomycin were most effective against bacteria and clotrimazole was most effective against fungi.
