Climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK) is an acquired degeneration of the cornea. Climatic droplet keratopathy consists of a degenerative change that occurs in the cornea and is characterized by the accumulation of aggregates of small golden-yellow globules of various sizes that accumulate in the subepithelial layers of the cornea. This is an Observational clinical study. Patients visited to our hospital from 1st January 2014 to 31st March 2016 were studied. Their complete medical records was studied and analyzed. Chi-square/ Fisher Exact test has been used to find the significance of study parameters on categorical scale between two or more groups. We strongly found Occupational association with CDK, especially, which are associated with sunlight working conditions i.e. UV exposure. Among them, those who work in Farm are more prone to get CDK. Occupation is NOT associated with type of CDK, but to the severity of CDK i.e. Grades of CDK. Hence if we educate the Susceptible patients for CDK according to their working conditions, to take proper Preventive measures, we can reduce the morbidity of the disease and hence their quality of life.
