Abstract：
Few epidemiological data describe the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment in Senegal. Data from West African studies estimate blindness prevalence between 1.2 - 3.4% and that of visual impairment between 10.4 - 17.1%. IRIS Mundial (IM) is a non-governmental organization collaborating with l\'Association St-Louisienne pour la Vue (ASV) to develop eye care in Senegal.
Describe the relative importance of and causes of blindness and visual impairment in a population consulting for vision problems in the Senegalese region of St. Louis, to assist in planning of relevant eye care programs.
Results from eye exams carried out by a team from IM in 2018 have been complied and analyzed.
In all, 1944 patients were examined (56.5% female). Some 25.7% of patients presented a visual impairment (22.5% moderate; 3.2% severe). Regarding refractive error, 15.3% of patients had myopia, 10.7% had hyperopia, 54.8% had astigmatism and 55.8% were presbyopic. Clinically significant cataracts is present in 17.4% of patients and glaucoma in 2.5%.
Our data give a glimpse of the prevalence of visual impairment and ocular disease in St. Louis, Senegal. Uncorrected refractive error, cataracts and glaucoma are present in this population and may guide the planning of relevant eye care interventions.

摘要：
很少有流行病学数据描述塞内加尔失明和视力障碍的患病率。来自西非研究的数据估计失明患病率在1.2-3.4%之间，视力损害患病率在10.4-17.1%之间。IRISMundial（IM）是一个非政府组织，与l'LouisiennepourlaVue协会（ASV）合作，在塞内加尔发展眼部护理。
在塞内加尔圣路易斯地区的视力问题咨询中，描述失明和视力障碍的相对重要性和原因，协助规划相关的眼部护理计划。
已对IM团队在2018年进行的眼科检查结果进行了整理和分析。
总之,检查了1944例患者（56.5％为女性）。约25.7％的患者出现视力障碍（22.5％中度；3.2％重度）。关于屈光不正，15.3%的患者有近视,10.7%有远视,54.8%有散光，55.8%为老花眼。临床上显着的白内障存在于17.4％的患者中，青光眼存在于2.5％。
我们的数据让我们瞥见了圣路易斯视力障碍和眼部疾病的患病率，塞内加尔。未矫正的屈光不正,白内障和青光眼存在于该人群中,可指导相关眼部护理干预措施的规划.
