Abstract

No information is available in the literature about the true incidence of congenital ocular abnormalities and associated systemic abnormalities in an Indian population. Initial results based on the first year of this study are presented. Out of 2,153 children born from January 1978 to December 1978, 2,016 were examined for any congenital ocular or systemic abnormality. The incidence of congenital ocular and systemic abnormalities was 10.5/1000 and 20/1000 live births respectively. Four out of 21 congenital ocular abnormalities were associated with congenital systemic abnormalities. Individual abnormalities are discussed in brief.
