Abstract
Males were more than the females in this study. The mean age was 58.9 years. Among the three grades of hypertensive retinopathy taken in to study, type II constituted more. Both in males and females type II hypertensive retinopathy was seen more. The mean duration of hypertension was 13.3 years. Males had slightly higher mean duration than females. Females were more regular in getting their treatment than the females but there is no statistically significant difference among the two groups. Crowded disc was totally seen in 6 patients including both unilateral and bilateral crowded disc. Females had more crowded disc than the males in numbers but there is no statistically significant difference. Among the watershed zones, type 2 constituted more in total and in males. In females it was both type 1 and type 2. This proved to be a statistically significant difference. Delayed filling was seen in 2 patients which we have considered as at risk patients for development of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Hypoflourescent disc was seen in one patient and hyperflourescent disc was seen in one patient. Both may be at risk of developing anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. At last in this study we come to a conclusion that more than half of the patients would need frequent, regular followups because we have considered those who have not taken regular treatment, patients having crowded disc, patients who had filling defects, patients who had type 2, 3, 4 watershed zones which involves the optic nerve head, patients who had hypo and hyperflourescent discs as AT RISK patients and so regular, frequent followup is needed than the rest, though others also need a regular followup but not as frequent as the previous group.
