Dr.PoojaPatil, Dr.Rajeshwari M, Dr.Udaykumar J Khasage

In HIV/AIDS patients changes can also occur in the absence of retinal infections which include alteration in color vision, contrast sensitivity and visual fields. These microvasculature changes which alter subtle changes in vision are related to retinal damage characterized by loss of ganglion cell axons. All patients who were attending ART center who are on HAART were screened for HIV retinopathy. Patients found to have retinal changes were evaluated further in Ophthalmology OPD. Majority 66% had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/6, followed by 27% patients who had best corrected visual acuity of 6/9 and 7% patients had best corrected visual acuity of 6/12. Mean contrast sensitivity was (mean ± SD) 1.93±0.26 10% patients had ≤1.5, 3% patients contrast sensitivity in range of 1.5-1.65, 40% were in range of 1.65-1.95, 47% were in range of 1.95-2.25.
