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.

Correlation between Hertel exophthalmometric value and refraction in young Cameroonian adults aged 20 to 40 years.

Purpose: To study the relationship between exophthalmometric value (EV) and refractive error in Cameroonian young adults.
