Abstract

Nitrituria is a presence of nitrites in urine. Nitrites are formed from the chemical conversion of nitrates by bacteria. Eyes are optical complexed system and are a major organ of a human body. Any abnormality in this organ may lead to very serious conditions. Myopia is characterized by a refractory disorder in which eye is not able to focus light onto the retina. The objective of the present study is to check the association of nitrates in urine with eyesight. 100 participants accepted to take part in this project. Urinalysis was done of the participants using a urine strip test. The participants were the pupils from the Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. In 18% male and 39% female respondents with eyesight between 0 to -1 dioptre(D), normal results were observed. The research concludes that there is no relation between eyesight and urine nitrites [1-3].
