Abstract: Purpose: To determine clinical spectrum of ophthalmic manifestations and its correlation to platelet count in dengue patients. Materials and methods: Consecutive patients of dengue disease who presented during June 2019 to August 2019 were evaluated. Complete ocular examinations were done. Results: Out of 92 patients, 61.95% were male, 38.04% were female. Mean age of presentation was 32.65 years. Number of patients with ocular symptoms was 33.69% & with ocular signs was 45.65%. Subconjunctival haemorrhage was the commonest ocular findings (25%). Posterior segment findings were present in 11.95%, 7.60% had retinal haemorrhage. 40.50% DF, 72.72% DHF patients and 100% DSS had ocular findings. Ocular findings were present in 19.60% in patients with platelet count > 1 lakh & 83.33% in patients with platelets count < 20000. Conclusion: Ophthalmic manifestations are not uncommon but mostly under observed, so ocular examinations in all dengue cases is advised to prevent visual complications.
