Background.
Ocular manifestations in people living with HIV/AIDS are varied and affect almost all the structures of eye leading to visual impairment or blindness.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the predictors of HIV related ocular manifestation among ART clinic clients.
Methods.
Institution based cross-sectional study was employed among ART clients at Felege Hiwot referral hospital, northwest Ethiopia.
The study was conducted from 1 January 2013 to 30 January 2013.
A total of 369 systematically and randomly selected clients were included in the study.
Data were collected using structured questionnaires and ophthalmologic clinical examination.
Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0.
Binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed to identify independent predictors of HIV related ocular manifestation.
Results.
Twenty-five percent (25.7%) of HIV patients had ocular manifestations.
The three most frequent signs were Squamoid Conjuctival growth (26.9%), ophthalmic herpes zoster (22.1%), and Bacterial Conjuctivitis (17.2%).
History of eye problem, CD4 count, and visual acuity of the eye were the predictors of HIV related ocular manifestation.
Conclusion.
In this study, a higher proportion of ocular manifestations were detected in HIV/AIDS patients.
Visual acuity and CD4 counts were the independent predictors of ocular manifestations.
This finding gives an insight for policy makers and concerned body to integrate ophthalmic examination in ART clinics to improve the health condition of HIV/ADIS patients.
