A Study of the Prevalence and Pattern of Sickle Cell Retinopathy among Eye Clinic Attendees in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital

2024Open accessUniversity of Lagos

Abstract

Sickle cell retinopathy is not uncommon in Nigeria and many patients only present in tertiary health facilities when they have severe symptoms such as loss of vision. This may be attributed to the late diagnosis and referral. Routine screening is recommended to ensure early detection and treatment to prevent avoidable blindness.
