Eye-care in Ghana
Eye-care in Ghana
Half of the 200,000 blindness in Ghana is a result of cataract.
Nearly all cases of cataract are a result of aging, affecting the elderly.
Trachoma, childhood blindness, refractive error and diabetic retinopathy are the other causes of blindness in Ghana.
More than 600,000 Ghanaians suffer from visual impairment- many of whom simply need a pair of spectacles.
