ABSTRACT
In this study, 997 leprosy patients were examined, 528 of them with lepromatous leprosy (53%), 199 with borderline leprosy (20%), 167 with tuberculoid leprosy (16%) and 103 (10.3%) with indeterminate leprosy. Changes in the ocular bulb were noted in 314 patients (31.5%) specially in those with lepromatous leprosy. These alterations were greater with increasing age of the patient and length of disease. Severe ocular lesions were rare, probably due to previous systemic treatment. The "pearls" in the fundus of the eye resulting from leprosy were also studied.
