A recent study conducted by the University of Ghana focused on the prevalence and management of cataracts among older adults in Sub-Saharan Africa. The research highlighted that cataracts are a significant cause of visual impairment and blindness in the region, affecting a wide range of individuals. The study found that cataract prevalence among older adults in Sub-Saharan Africa varies widely, with surgery being the primary management strategy, but with significant barriers such as lack of awareness, limited access to healthcare, economic constraints, gender disparities, and cultural misconceptions about cataract surgery. Comprehensive strategies addressing awareness, accessibility, affordability, and cultural factors are needed to improve cataract management and reduce visual impairment in Sub-Saharan Africa.
