    Outside the wealthier countries, the main cause is cataract. If you go to the World Health Organisation website, you can find more exact figures analysed by nationality and region.

        I think glaucoma and diabetes are the main culprits here in the west but i think it is different in Africa.

        Diabetes is one of the most common of causes around me.  I have had 2 friends go  blind due to diabetes, one is all the way blind & other is legally blind for now... Wish there was some cure.  With all the technology & advances of today, you'd think they would be more cures.  One can always pray & hope.
