Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the response ot the treatment of uncorrected latent hypermetropiain adults with chronic headaches. Methods: It’s a prospective descriptive study. 50 subjects of age group 1840 yrs with headache are evaluated using cycloplegic retinoscopy to estimate the latent hypermetropia .Other identifiable causes of headache are ruled out.With appropriate spectacle correction responses are evaluated at 1 month, 2 months,and 6 months on a 6 point patient satisfaction scale. Results: 55% were satisfied at 1 month, 75% at 2 month and 81% at 6 months. Among the age category 93.9% patients less than 30yrs were satisfied at the end of 6months and 74.6% were satisfied in more than 30 yrs age group. Conclusion: This study showed that age groups 1840 yrs who presented with recurrent headache with no secondary cause were benefitted with latent hypermetropia correction.Thus this stidy emphasis on the importance of cycloplegicretinoscopy and latent hypermetropia correction for young adults complaning of headache.
