Abstract
This is a report of the statistics of out patients, operated cases and patients introduced to our clinics in 1987. There were 30077 out patients, 9160 new patients, and 20917 repeat patients in 1987. The total number of cases increased in 1987 from 1986. Most cases were refractive error, then cataract, extraocular disease, and retinal disease in followed in that order. Neighboring related medical facilities introduced 581 cases. About half of the total cases underwent operations. Unusual cases were Harada disease, congenital anomaly of the lacrimonasal duct, etc. Among 1150 cases, cataract operations were highest with 723 cases. Of there, implantation of intraocular lens were highest with 675 cases. It is suspected that the increase in the number of cataract operations is due to the developments of modern medical technology.
