Abstract

This study is on analysis of the distribution of the occurrence of eye diseases (a case study of general hospital, Obangede, Kogi state: 2005 – 2014). The eye diseases examined are conjunctivitis, cataract, glaucoma, corneal injury and myopia. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test whether there exist significant differences in the distribution of the diseases due to the selected diseases and over the period examined. From the analysis, it was shown that there are no significant differences in the distribution of the diseases in respect to the selected diseases and over time. It can be observed from table 3 that the total number of reported cases of the occurrence of conjunctivitis is extremely high as compared to the other eye diseases. Thus, the government and other relevant stake holders should intensify efforts in putting in place necessary medical facilities to fight eye diseases, most especially conjunctivitis which have rendered many people unproductive by staying indoors.
