To study the relationship between the axial length of the eye ball and the Retinal Vein Occlusion

Abstract

The study was conducted on 50 patients attending the Eye OPDs of Ophthalmology Department of Government Medical College Jammu during the year. 25 patients were clinically diagnosed to have Retinal Vein Occlusion and were compared with 25 age and sex matched controls. The axial lengths of both eyes of all 50 patients were measured using A-Scan Biometry, the data was analyzed by student t-test and chisquare test.It was concluded that the axial lengths in retinal vein occlusion were significantly shorter than the controls. This significant difference can be a risk factor in the development of retinal vein occlusion.
