title: [Cataract in Senegal].
abstract: 1000 cataracts were cured thanks to surgery at the Ophthalmological Centre of BOPP in Dakar. The authors analyzed them according to several aspects (age, sex, aetiology and anatomical shape of the cataracts), according to the therapeutical results and complications. When having compared extracapsular and intracapsular, they stress the double problem of prevention and treatment of endophthalmia and of optical correction of aphakia at a health centre.
