Description
Kenan Calisir and Mohamed Kadiye chart the causes of adult blindness at a major eye center in Somalia. Their twenty twenty-six study reviews records from Mogadishu for the full year twenty twenty-five. All patients were sixteen or older.
The pair pulled age, sex, which eye or eyes were blind, and the clinical cause for each case. They then weighed how age and sex linked to the main causes. Trauma stood out as a heavy source of lost sight in this group. The results give Somali eye care a hard count of who goes blind and why, a base for prevention work.
