Abstract
The ocular complications of leprosy are the most serious lesions in the disease and occur in a very high percentage of cases. Leprosy is one of the great causes of blindness in the world. I would make a plea that every leprogist should have a knowledge of ophthalmology. The slit lamp with the corneal microscope and the electric ophthalmoscope are indispensable in the early diagnosis and recognition of the type of ocular leprosy and so every leprosarium should be provided with these articles of equipment and the medical officer in charge should have a knowledge of their use.
