Abstract
There is a backlog in unoperated cataract in the survey area that will increase with ageing. Awareness campaigns, reducing cost, improving the outcome of cataract surgery, and expansion of surgical services may help to increase the cataract surgical rate. Women should be offered more cataract surgery. These results will enable health managers to plan effective interventions in line with Vision 2020.
