Eyes of 237 multibacillary leprosy patients on Multi Drug Therapy were studied for a minimum period of 2 years and maximum period of 4 years. Ocular status remained unaltered in 75%, improved in 16% and there was worsening in 9% during the study period. The changes in those worsened were of microscopic nature and seen mostly among those with long duration of disease and among reactors.
