This data was part of an all-age blindness prevalence survey conducted in Sokoto state Nigeria in 2005. The data is for persons aged 50 years and over who were examined in Wurno health of Sokoto state. The sample were selected using a stratified sampling strategy. The operational definitions were based on WHO/PBL coding instructions for eye examination record

Sight Impairment registration in Trinidad: Trend in causes and populationcoverage in comparison to the National Eye Survey of Trinidad and Tobago

Background: Little was known about the population coverage and causes of sight impairment (SI) registration within the Caribbean, or the extent to which register studies offer insights into population eye health.Methods: We compared causes of SI registration in the Trinidad and Tobago Blind Welfare Association (TTBWA) register with findings from the 2014 National Eye Survey of Trinidad and Tobago (NESTT), and estimated registration coverage. Cross-sectional validation studies of registered clients included interviews, visual function and cause ascertainment in July 2013, and interviews and visual function in July 2016.Results: The TTBWA register included 863 people (all ages, 48.1%(n=415) male) registered between 1951 and 2015. The NESTT identified 1.1%(75/7158) people aged >5years eligible for partial or severe SI registration, of whom 49.3%(n=37) were male. Registration coverage was approximately 7% of the eligible population of Trinidad. Nevertheless, there was close agreement in the causes of SI comparing the register and population-representative survey. Glaucoma was the leading cause in both the register (26.1%,n=225) and population-based survey (26.1%, 18/69 adults), followed by cataract and diabetic retinopathy. In the validation studies combined, 62.6%(93/151) clients had severe SI, 28.5%(43/151) had partial SI and 9.9%(15/151) did not meet SI eligibility criteria. SI was potentially avoidable in at least 58%(n=36/62) adults and 50%(n=7/14) children.Conclusion: We report very low register coverage of the SI population, but close agreement in causes of SI to a contemporaneous national population-based eye survey, half of which resulted from preventable or treatable eye disease.</p
