Ophthalmic epidemiology is the subject of international research: common ophthalmic conditions in industrialized countries receiving attention as well as the main blinding diseases of the developing nations. For those public health officials, health planners and ophthalmologists responsible for developing programmes aimed at the prevention of blindness, this book provides a one-stop source of relevant information derived from major epidemiological studies on prevalence, risk-factors and distribution of eye disease. Internationally applicable, the methodology used in developing countries will prove valuable in developed nations where economic growth and rising affluence have created similar conditions.
