The population of Niger is 6 million, mostly located in the rural areas. The last ophthalmological survey carried out in 1983 reveals a 3 to 8% prevalence of blindness, according to the department considered, that is, an average prevalence of 2.6% in the country. This survey reveals that 85% of the causes of blindness can be avoided (cataracts-infections). These figures fully justify the implementation of a national program to fight blindness.
