¿ä¾à Before sulphone and its allied drug were used for leprosy, Pinkerton and Kirwan
stated that the probability is that every case of lepromatous leprosy will develop ocular
complications of one sort or another. Holmes and Lowe reported the profound effect on
the ocular lesion. And McLaren, after ophthalmologicat survey with sitemap of 1,200
leprosy patients in leprosarium reported 10% of leprosy ocular complication and 30% of
nonleprosy eye diseases; chronic iritis which is main cause of blindness of leprosy
patient was found in only 35 patients, 3%. And no patient of cataract due to iritis was
reported.
Today, in Korea there are many blind leprosy patients who had lost their sight before
sulphone derivatives came into use or were unable to reach the proper use of it. And
many operations are performed for such cataract of leprosy. Here, we are reporting the
observation of 10 operations performed during 1963 and 1964 at leprosy Mission
Treatment Centre in Taegu.
