Abstract

Aim: to study the fundus changes in patients with pih and to determine the correlation between fundus changes, blood pressure and severity of the disease. Methods: patients? clinical history with special importance to bp and proteinuria and visual complaints were recorded. Visual acuity recorded , anterior segment and fundus examination were done and graded accordingly, and the results obtained were analyzed. Results: of the 35 patients, no fundus changes were observed in 15 patients, 11 cases showed grade 1,6 cases showed grade 2 hypertensive changes.in 3 cases, central serous chorioretinopathy(cscr) were noted. 7 out of 13 patients with gestational hypertension,9 out of 13 patients of pre eclampsia 6 out of 9 patients of eclampsia presented with fundus changes. Conclusions: the retinal changes due to pih are significantly correlated with the severity of the disease and level of bp. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent further changes in the fundus.
