Ophthalmic pathology is the subspecialty of pathology. It is unique in many respects as it encompasses wide range of tissues, epithelial elements, connective tissue and specialized tissues. The present study focused on most common ophthalmic lesions and to establish their accurate pathological diagnosis. The study was conducted in department of Pathology in collaboration with department of Ophthalmology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Kolhapur, on 132 cases of ophthalmic lesions received in the Histopathology laboratory during period from May 2014 to April 2016. Ophthalmic specimens were routinely processed and H& E stain was performed. The study concluded that, ophthalmic lesions reported were mostly non-neoplastic. Eyelid was the commonest site followed by cornea and conjunctiva. A wide range of lesions including some rare conditions like retinoblastoma, were studied on various parameters and histopathological features were highlighted. Many neoplastic conditions clinically mimic other less aggressive neoplastic or inflammatory conditions and needs differentiation before definitive therapy is planned. So, to establish their accurate diagnosis, histopathological correlation is important and mandatory.
