Differences in Ocular Axial Length Between Genders and Refractive Error Groups: A Cross-Sectional Study at the Yaoundé Central Hospital, Cameroon.

Background: Refractive errors are a common global health issue. Previous studies in Cameroon have predominantly identified hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism as the primary refractive errors. This study aimed to determine ocular axial length (OAL) values in Cameroonian adults and to evaluate differences between genders and refractive error groups.

Outcome of Esotropia Surgery in 2 Tertiary Hospitals in Cameroon.

Purpose: To evaluate the ocular alignment following esotropia surgery in our setting.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a cross sectional descriptive study which spanned 19 years, from October 1999 to September 2018 at the Douala General Hospital and the Yaoundé Central Hospital. Complete medical records of patients who underwent surgery for esotropia during the study period were included.

[Age of onset of presbyopia in the black cameroonian subject].

Introduction: Addition in patients of less than 40 years is not uncommon in our practice. We investigated the need for addition after objective refraction and thus determine the average age of onset of the presbyopia.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of patients aged 35-45 years at the Central Hospital of Yaoundé over a period of three months.

Color vision deficiency among biomedical students: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of color vision deficiency (CVD) among first-cycle students of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of the University of Yaoundé I.

Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out between October 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016. Distant visual acuity was measured and color vision test done for all consenting students.

Infestation of the Eyelids Presenting as Chronic Blepharoconjunctivitis in a 6-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report.

Purpose: To report the case of infestation of the eyelashes presenting as chronic blepharoconjunctivitis.

Case Report: A 6-year-old girl presented with a 2-month history of blepharoconjunctivitis unresponsive to topical antibiotics in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed the presence of nits and adult parasites on the eyelashes.

Partially absorbed cataractous lens in the anterior chamber revealing neglected severe ocular contusion: a case report.

Background: Ocular contusion can produce severe lesions, which if not treated appropriately and promptly, can lead to visual impairment. Ocular contusion in childhood may not be reported by children.

Case Presentation: A 27 year old female presented with a partially absorbed cataractous lens that was dislocated into the anterior chamber of her left eye.

Ophthalmological findings in Cameroonian boxers.

Background: The purpose of this prospective, noncomparative consecutive study was to examine active and retired amateur boxers in order to evaluate the nature and incidence of ocular pathologic conditions related to the boxing practice.

Results: A total of 35 boxers were included in this study. The mean age of the boxers was 28.
