Ocular manifestations and refractive errors among people living with HIV in Pune, India: a cross-sectional study
Objective We aimed to determine the ocular manifestation and refractive error prevalences among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Pune, India. Methods This cross-sectional study included HIV-infected adults attending a National AIDS Research Institute clinic. Ophthalmologic examination included visual acuity estimation, refraction, orthoptic evaluation, slit lamp and fundus examination, and photography. Results In total, 441 HIV-infected individuals were enrolled. The participants' median age was 44 (interquartile range 38–49) years and 227 (51.5%) were men. Refractive errors occurred in 132 (29.9%) individuals. Ocular manifestations were present in 93 (21.1%) participants and the most frequent was cataract in 59 (13.4%) participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that participants who were illiterate (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.47–5.33) and those aged greater than 40 years (AOR 5.59, 95% CI 2.69–11.61) were more likely to have ocular manifestations. The odds of having ocular manifestations were greater in participants with treatment substitution or changes (AOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.16–3.82). Conclusions Cataract and refractive errors were prevalent among PLHIV. PLHIV should be encouraged to have regular ophthalmic checkups. Individuals with lower education levels and older age should be counseled regarding eye care and timely reporting of ocular symptoms.
