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。

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%.
