Abstract
The results of the American Peace Corps Survey of the ocular complications of leprosy in South Korea were evaluated and compared with other surveys. Defective vision remains an important aspect of leprosy with 11% of the total number of 2925 patients examined having a visual acuity in both eyes of < 6/60. It is hoped that the presentation of these figures will stimulate a more organized and rational approach to this difficult problem.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
