Abstract: Ophthalmology is one of the branches of medical science that is concerned specifically with anatomy, function and conditions of the eye. Most eye disorders do not show obvious warning signs or symptoms however a dilated eye examination is able to detect eye diseases at an early stage before the loss of vision occurs. The most prevalent ocular conditions include glaucoma and cataracts conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers, blepharitis refractive errors and the pterygium. This prospective observational study was designed to study the prescription pattern and the most common ocular disorders that are diagnosed in the outpatient ophthalmology department (OPD). Participants were fully informed about the study and queries were answered prior data collection. A total of 180 prescriptions were analyzed in the ophthalmology OPD during the study period, with the number of drugs per prescription varying from 0-8. The prescription that contained only one medication was 80, two drugs were 65 and the majority of the medications that were prescribed included antibiotics (122) followed by NSAIDs (57). The study found that maximum patients diagnosed in OPD were with conjunctivitis (48), followed by dry eyes (18). The total number of prescriptions analyzed was 180. The present study provides an insight into the prescription pattern and common ocular diseases diagnosed in the ophthalmology OPD. The results indicate that early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent further complications and vision loss.
