[Ocular findings in leprosy: results of a survey in the Green Pastures Leprosy Hospital, Nepal (author's transl)].

Abstract
One hundred and seventy leprous patients underwent ophthalmic examination; of those with tuberculoid leprosy, 49.3% had ocular pathology; in patients with lepromatous leprosy the corresponding figure was 61.4%. 4.7 percent of all eyes examined were blind. Early chemotherapy prevents further complications in tuberculoid leprosy, but not in ;the lepromatous type. The results are compared with those of other authors.
