Prevalence, care-seeking practices and impact of self-reported vision impairment in Southwest Cameroon: a community-based study by Melissa Carvalho, Susan N Mbeboh, Sabrinah Ariane Christie, Drusia Dickson, Theophile Nana, Frida Embolo, Rochelle Dicker, Catherine Juillard, Alain Chichom Mefire

“…Cataracts was the leading diagnosis among participants who did seek formal care (43.2%, n=16), although 93.8% of these cases were not surgically treated, primarily due to a lack of perceived need.Conclusion The prevalence of individuals who report vision impairment in Southwest Cameroon is considerably lower than prior published estimates based on visual physical examinations. Routine community-level screening and cost financing schemes could improve detection of pre-clinical eye disease and the utilisation of surgical care. …”
