ABSTRACT
An impairment survey was carried out in Nepal. The study subjects (n = 318) were a mixture of out-patients and patients admitted less than one month before the survey. Of the subjects, 101 were attending the hospital out-patients clinic or were admitted and the rest were examined in the field. The patients studied included those on MDT and care-after-cure cases. Ocular impairments were found in 25% of these cases. The most common ocular impairment was poor vision followed by lagophthalmos and insensitive cornea.
