  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

There are an estimated 200,000 blind people in Thailand which has a population of roughly 45 mil-lion. Bilateral cataract accounts for about one-half of the blindness. It is estimated that 40,000 cataract surgeries are necessary each year if unilateral cata-ract cases are also taken into consideration. There is currently an acute shortage of qualified ophthal-mologists, which at present number just 100 and of which 70% are practising in Bangkok. A nation-wide project is keenly needed aiming at establish-ing ophthalmic treatment centers in urban areas and in increasing the number of ophthlamic sur-geons.
