  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reviewed the profile of outpatients seen in two hospitals in an offshore islant (A) and in the peninsula (B) during 3 months through October 1996. The age distribution of patients showed a peak at 70 years in hospital A. It showed two peaks at below 20 years and at 70 years in hospital B. Patients seen in hospital B showed higher frequencies of corneal foreign body, congenital nasolacrimal stenosis, chalazion, hordeolum and ocular contusion and lesser frequencies of pterygium, diabetic retinopathy and conjunctivitis than hospital A. The differences were significant (p < 0.01) . There were 4 patients of retinitis pigmentosa in hospital A and 3 in hospital B. The former serves a population of 7,000 and the latter 6,000. The findings show peculiar characteristics of eye patients in remote hospitals which reflect the history, industry, natural environment and the specificity of hospitals.
