    Ocular complications are frequent in leprosy reactions, affecting over 76% of eyes in Type I and 89% in Type II. Early detection of these eye changes is crucial for managing leprosy patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Leprosy reactions, including Type I and Type II, can cause significant ocular morbidity.
    • Understanding the spectrum of ocular changes is vital for comprehensive leprosy management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate and categorize ocular changes associated with leprosy reactions.
    • To determine the prevalence and nature of eye involvement in Type I and Type II leprosy reactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of ocular findings in leprosy patients experiencing reactions.
    • Documentation of common ocular manifestations such as corneal changes and iridocyclitis.

    Main Results:

    • Ocular involvement was observed in 76.1% of eyes with Type I reaction and 89.7% with Type II reaction.

  • Common findings included corneal hypoaesthesia, punctate keratitis, reduced tear film breakup time, and pigment deposition.
  • Iridocyclitis incidence was notably low (8.1%) in Type II reactions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Leprosy reactions frequently lead to ocular complications, necessitating ophthalmological attention.
    • The study highlights specific corneal and anterior segment changes common in leprosy-associated eye disease.
